Policy Statement

North Central University formally approves, promulgates, and maintains in a consistent format, official university policies in a central policy repository.

University policies must have broad application throughout the university, enhance the university’s mission, set behavioral expectations, promote ethical standards and integrity, promote operational efficiencies, manage institutional risk, help achieve compliance with applicable laws and regulations, have been reviewed and approved by the Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) and the President’s Cabinet (PC), and provide procedures for implementation.

The PC may approve an interim policy when legal requirements or a significant institutional risk exists and there is insufficient time to complete the standard review and approval process before publishing. The request to the PC must include a policy plan and a timeline of no more than twelve months for completing the standard review of the interim policy. If approved, the policy will go into effect immediately. The policy owner must complete the standard policy review and approval process during this approved interim period.

Reason for Policy

A formal process for policy formulation, promulgation, and maintenance provides continuity, ease of access and understanding, opportunities for stakeholder feedback during policy formulation, accountability throughout the policy formulation process, transparent guidance to the university community, and allows the university to evaluate risks associated with policy decisions.

Policy Scope

Faculty, staff, students, academic and administrative units, affiliated entities, agents, and volunteers.

Procedures

Developing and Approving University Policies

Determine the Need for a New Policy

Any individual or unit can identify a need for a new policy that meets the criteria for a university policy; however, a responsible university officer must sponsor the potential policy.
The responsible university officer designates an appropriate policy owner for the policy.
The policy owner obtains approval to draft the policy from their appropriate responsible university officer.
The policy owner, with the Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) and PAC chair assistance, considers related existing policies to determine if they could be combined.
If an individual other than a policy owner has a request for a policy, that individual must contact the appropriate policy owner to begin the process, if there is concurrence in concept.

Complete the Policy Plan

The policy owner, with the assistance of the PAC chair, completes the policy plan. As with all policy documents, the policy owner, and responsible officer will provide the content, while the PAC will be responsible for the editorial aspects of the policy plan.
The responsible officer will approve the final draft of the policy plan before it is distributed to members of the PAC for review and approval.
The PAC chair distributes the policy plan to the PAC for review at the appropriate meeting.
The PAC reviews the policy plan.
The policy owner, along with the PAC chair, presents the policy plan to the PAC for review and approval.

Draft the University Policy

With the assistance of the PAC, the policy plan, and authoring groups, the policy owner completes a draft of the proposed policy along with the associated documents using the simplified policy template.
The policy owner engages key end users/groups, either in the policy development process, as part of an authoring group, or in a review capacity. This includes a review by the appropriate committee(s) (e.g. Deans Council), where applicable. The PAC chair can assist in identifying individuals or groups. This feedback must be considered during the drafting of the policy.
Once the draft is ready, the policy owner forwards it to the PAC chair, along with the associated materials (procedures, policy plan, stakeholder information, forms, etc.).
The PAC chair will schedule the policy owner at one of the upcoming PAC meetings.
The PAC chair conducts the initial review and provides feedback to the policy owner.
The policy owner makes adjustments where needed and resubmits the version to be presented to PAC.

Review the Policy Draft—Policy Advisory Committee

The PAC chair distributes the draft of the policy and completed policy plan to members of the PAC in advance of a PAC review meeting.
The policy owner presents the policy draft to PAC.
PAC provides specific suggestions as to content, practicality, language, level of detail, and readability.
After the PAC meeting, the policy owner and responsible university officer, and the PAC chair will determine which suggestions to accept, and updates the policy draft as needed.
If PAC approves the policy, the PAC chair places the policy on an agenda for the next President’s Cabinet (PC) meeting.
The PAC chair completes the PAC sections of the Policy Change Form.
The PAC chair distributes the final draft of the policy and all accompanying documents to PC in advance of the PC meeting.

Review the Policy Draft—President’s Cabinet

The responsible university officer presents the documents to PC and responds to questions.
The PAC chair and responsible officer will make changes as directed by the PC.
The PC determines whether to approve the proposed changes to the policy. As the result of its review, the PC will either:
1. Approve the policy as drafted;
2. Send the policy back to the PAC to consider PC recommendations or concerns, or
3. Make changes to the policy.
If approved, the PC will complete the Policy Change Form and submit it to the PAC chair for archiving.
The PAC chair will note on the policy the date listed on the Policy Change Form as the “Issued” date for the policy.

Promulgate the Policy

The PAC chair updates the policy library with the newly adopted policy.
If the new policy information requires formal training, the policy owner works with the appropriate training specialists to ensure that it is deployed and assists the responsible university officer to establish any support systems necessary to achieve ongoing compliance.
The PAC chair archives the Policy Change Form and draft documents in policy archive.
The PAC chair officially promulgates the policy to the university community and works with the policy owner to contact all stakeholders identified in the policy plan and the communication plan.
The PAC chair assists the policy owner with other communication, as needed.

Comprehensively Reviewing Existing University Policies

Necessity of Review

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Who approves university policies?

A: The Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) reviews and approves policy plans and drafts, then recommends them to the President’s Cabinet, which gives final approval.

Q: Can anyone suggest a new policy?

A: Yes. Any individual or unit can identify the need for a policy, but a responsible university officer must sponsor it and assign a policy owner.

Q: How do I start a new policy?

A: Contact the PAC chair at policy@northcentral.edu. The PAC chair helps the policy owner complete a policy plan, which goes to the PAC before drafting begins.

Q: How often do policies get reviewed?

A: Every university policy receives a comprehensive review at least every four years.

Q: What changes can happen without full review?

A: Editorial changes, such as contact names, position titles, email addresses, and web addresses. The PAC chair makes these changes and updates the policy history.

Q: What counts as a substantive revision?

A: Changes to a policy’s scope, meaning or intent, requirements, responsibilities, and most changes to procedures or appendices. These go through the PAC and, when needed, the President’s Cabinet.

Q: What happens when a policy needs to take effect right away?

A: The President’s Cabinet may approve an interim policy when legal requirements or significant risk leave no time for the standard process. The policy owner must finish the standard review within one year.

Q: How does a policy get retired?

A: The policy owner consults stakeholders, submits a Policy Change Form, and the President’s Cabinet decides. Once retired, the policy comes off the policy library.

Q: Where can I find the official version of a policy?

A: The university policy library at northcentral.edu/policy serves as the sole official source for policies and procedures.
