2026-2027 Administrative Policy Manual

The 2026-2027 Administrative Policy Manual ("APM") was initially published on August 7, 2026. All policies in the APM are up to date. 

Any new policies that are approved, published, and become effective during this academic year on or after August 7, 2026 will be added to the APM and will be listed in the "New Policies" section. Any revisions to existing policies that are approved, published, and become effective during this academic year on or after August 7, 2026 will be updated in the APM and will be listed in the "Updated Policies" section. The purpose of these two sections is to help campus members easily find new policies and recent revisions.
