The University Policy Program

NAU’s policy program is governed by the policy on the Development and Administration of University Policies. Colloquially known as the “policy on policies,” this policy establishes how administrative policy-making will take place at the university level. Academic Policies that relate to the University’s pedagogical mission, and Unit-Level Policies that address activities at the division, college, department, program, or activity level are not governed by this policy or housed within the University Policy Library.

Primary Objectives of NAU’s Policy Program

1. To facilitate the development, review, approval, and maintenance of University Policies.
2. To ensure that University Policies satisfy one or more identified policy needs.
3. To make policies accessible to the University community.
