Periodic Review of Policies

University policies should be reviewed on a periodic basis (a three (3) year cycle is recommended) by the origination sponsor and/or his designee from the originating unit to ensure the currency and accuracy of the policies. Policies will be reviewed for the following:

• oContinued relevance to the University mission and values;
• oConsistency with other University policies;
• oReflection of changes in laws, regulations, accreditation standards, educational goals/practices, university practices, etc.;
• oErrors in fact or in language; and
• oOther potential problems.

If changes in the policy are deemed necessary, the appropriate process (revising, updating, or repealing) should be initiated.
