2.0.1 Administrative Policy and Procedures Manual Creation & Review

Policy: 2.0.1

Title: Administrative Policy and Procedures Manual Creation & Review

Revised Effective Date: 06/06/2008

Scope: All Employee Groups

The Board authorizes the College President to establish and implement administrative policies and procedures. Such policies and procedures will comply with the provisions of the Yavapai College Board policies, and any and all other state and federal laws and regulations.

The Administrative Policy and Procedures Manual is a central reference to College policies and is available to all members of the Yavapai College community. Each policy, and where applicable, a procedure to describe its implementation, is a guideline to be used with discretion, understanding, and management in the spirit in which the policy is written.

The Manual will be regularly reviewed and may be revised as necessary and appropriate to reflect the dynamics of the College. Changes will be communicated to all Yavapai College employees.

Under no circumstances are the statements contained in these policies to be considered a contract of employment, an obligation, or guarantee on the part of the College.

Procedure

The development of new administrative policy or revision to existing administrative policy will be accomplished through a consistent administrative process.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS:

Note 1: The Director Human Resources (HR), Provost (Academics), Dean of Student Affairs (Students), or VP Administration (Business/General Ops), as applicable to the policy, performs preliminary outline/review based on relevance, legality, cost effectiveness; engages the Policy Writer to draft in consistent form; submits policy draft and this completed form to Policy Review Council.
