Purpose

This schema is designed to enable quick and easy identification, cataloging, referencing, and online publication of College policies in the online Policy Library.

Types of Policies

There are four types of policies at Wiley College:

Board of Trustees (“BOT”) Policy: addresses governance of the College and requires a majority approval of the Board of Trustees. The authority to determine when a policy warrants Board of Trustees level of approval rests with the Board and the President with the advice of College Counsel.

Presidential Policy: policy that promulgates the President’s decisions on the operation of the College, Board of Trustees action, and changes in law or new administrative issues within the College itself. Presidential Policy is issued by the President of the College with the advice of College Counsel and expires 90 days after the end of the President’s term in office. Board of Trustees approval is not required.

Administrative Policies: addresses critical operational matters to ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and policies at the federal, state or local levels. Administrative Policies do not address practice or procedures, and have broad application throughout the College. Administrative Policy is subject to approval by the President, applicable Vice President, or respective designee for policy issuance and major revisions. Board of Trustees approval is not required.

Interim Policy: provisional policy issued by the Board of Trustees or the President that satisfies an emergent need or exigency.

Classification

All College policies will be classified by policy type, i.e., BOT Policy, Presidential Policy, Administrative Policy, or Interim Policy.

Numbering System

Policies promulgated by the Board of Trustees (BOT Policy) and the President (Presidential Policy) are identified by the following: classification, number (sequential), effective year (in parentheticals), and policy title. For example:

Classification	Number	Year	Policy Title
Board of Trustee Policy	#01	2018	Classification and Numbering System Policy
Presidential Policy	#02	2018	Inclement Weather Policy
Administrative Policy	#03	2018	Distance Education Policy
Interim Policy	#04	2018

The Effective Year is the year of approval or revision

Using the example, policies under the Office of the Registrar will be listed as:

03 = Administrative / 10 = Academic Affairs / 04 = Registrar / 01 = first policy
