UMKC’s policy library contains the full text of official policies approved by the University as a resource for faculty, staff, and students. The policy library is not comprehensive; it does not include links to unit-level policies and procedures. The UMKC Policy Committee and leadership may review and update policies at any time. When that happens, the committee note last update on the policy.  

A University policy:

• has broad application
• helps to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations,
• enhances the University’s mission and provides operational efficiencies
• reduces institutional risk
• changes infrequently and sets a course for the foreseeable future
• requires executive-level sponsorship and approval

Academic policies at UMKC, as overseen by the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor, are in the following general areas: curriculum management, faculty affairs, program review and assessment, and registration and records policies.
