How to Develop a Policy

Policies emerge from an individual or unit’s need to resolve a recurring issue and/or streamline a process. Our Nevada State Policy on Institutional Policy and Procedure outlines expectations and standards for how to create institutional policy and corresponding procedures. Before you consider submitting a policy request, please ensure your proposal meets the following requirements. All institutional policies must:

V

Support the institution in achieving its mission and implementing its strategic plan

V

Apply campus-wide

V

Promote operational efficiency and effectiveness

V

Implement Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) policy

V

Comply with statutes, regulations, ordinances, and industry standards and requirements

V

Advance commitments to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice

V

Minimize organizational risk

Initiate or Revise a Policy

If your proposal aligns with the requirements outlined above, submit your request.
