Policy Documents

Procedure for Updating Policy Documents

The repository for policy documents is located on the departmental OneDrive (link?). There are three folders:

  • Approved - for approved policies
  • Drafts - for draft policies
  • Historical - previous versions of policies

In order to revise or create a departmental policy:

  1. Create a word file in Drafts containing the new or revised policy.
  2. Once the policy is approved by a vote of the faculty:
    1. Move the file from Drafts to Approved. Make sure to change the file name to reflect to reflect the approval date and to include the approval date in the body of the file.
    2. If the new policy replaces an existing policy, move the old policy document to Historical.
    3. Generate a PDF from the new policy, upload it to the wiki and link to it from this page.
