Introduction

On occasion, changes need to be made to University policy. There are two types of changes to University policy: minor and major. Minor changes include typographical errors, periodic updates to data, and personnel/title changes. Major changes (changes to policy statements, procedures, forms) need approval and often need promotion to inform end users. Individuals may suggest policy changes by going through the responsible office. There are three steps to revising University policy:

1. Determine whether the revision is major or minor.
   
2. Submit changes.
   
3. Publish changes.
