Policy and Procedure Manual

The Policy & Procedure Manual (PPM), along with the Academic and Staff Personnel Manuals, serves as the primary reference guide for campus operating policies and procedures which apply to academic, administrative, research and service units. The policies connect the campus’ mission to the everyday actions of its community, clarify the institution’s expectations of its individual members, mitigate institutional risk, enhance efficiency and support the university’s compliance with laws and regulations.
