Ithaca College approves, issues, and maintains college-wide policies to align operations, set behavior expectations across the College community, and communicate policy roles and responsibilities.
The Policy Writing Guide contains information about the College’s policy process and procedures for writing institutional policies. It provides a standardized format and writing style for College policies, which will make policies more consistent from one to the next, make policies easier for members of the College community to read and understand, make the process of writing policies easier for those involved, and produce better quality policies for the College. The guidance outlined in this section is recommended for all individuals who are engaged in developing, issuing, revising and maintaining all Ithaca College policies.
To ensure ready access to College Policies, Ithaca College maintains its Policy Manual in an online location, with the most current approved version of all Policies. The Policy Manual is maintained by the Office of Legal Affairs in a standard electronic format. The documents in the Policy Manual constitute the official electronic repository for institution-wide Policies for Ithaca College.
