INTERIM POLICY DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

 

If the Sponsoring Office believes that a new or revised policy is required, and time does not permit completion of the Standard Policy Development Process, the Sponsoring Office may seek authorization to issue an interim policy.

 

An interim policy may remain in effect up to four months from the date of its final approval. Once the Interim Policy is approved, the Sponsoring Office must immediately initiate the Standard Policy Development Process.

EXPEDITED POLICY DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

 

The Vice Chancellor for Administration may exempt a policy or category of policies from the Standard Policy Development Process if:

 

- Practical or operational considerations require rapid development and adoption of a policy; or

 

- Adoption of the new policy or substantial revision of an existing policy is mandated by statute or regulation, and is not discretionary; and

 

- The need for adoption of the new policy is urgent.
