University Policies and Procedures
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.
