Welcome to the University Policy Library

This library is the sole online repository for all University Policy documents and related materials. Academic Policies that establish or relate to NAU’s academic requirements pedagogical mission are found in the Academic Catalog.

University offices wishing to include a University Policy on their web pages must link to the policy’s landing page within this library (do not link to the policy document itself). Duplicates of University Policy documents may not be posted on any other NAU web page.

Policy Development and Administration of University Policies

NAU’s policy-making process is outlined in the “policy on policies”: Development and Administration of University Policies.

A University Policy is an official University directive that:

• supports the New NAU Charter;
• supports the University’s relationship with stakeholders;
• advances the safety and security of the University community;
• advances institutional risk management objectives;
• advances operational efficiency objectives;
• implements ABOR policies or directives; and/or
• implements legal requirements.

Unit-Level Policies applicable only at the division, college, office, program, or activity level are not housed within the University Policy Library.

Defined terms are capitalized in all policy documents and in this library.
