The “Policy Statement” section should describe the purpose of the policy and/or provide a summary of the policy.

A revised policy must include the “Revised From” section, which provides the date of the policy’s approval or last revision.

Policies featuring uncommon words or phrases should include a “Definitions” section that provides detailed definitions of such words or phrases.

If there are existing policies or documents that are related to a new policy, the policy must include a “Related Policies or Documents” section and list any such policies or documents.

Likewise, if there are any statutes or regulations that relate to a new policy, the policy must include a “Statutory or Regulatory References” section and list any such statutes or regulations.

If the “Revised From,” “Definitions,” “Related Policies or Documents,” or “Statutory or Regulatory References” components/sections are unnecessary, they may be deleted from a policy.

Additional sections may be added to a policy as needed. Such sections must come after the “Policy Statement” and “Definitions” sections and before the “Related Policies or Documents” and “Statutory or Regulatory References” sections. Any additional sections of a policy must be formatted in the same manner as the template’s standard sections.

Each proposed policy or set of procedures must be sponsored by at least one (1) administrator who is a member of the President's Cabinet, including but not limited to, Vice Presidents and the General Counsel.
