The Office of Web Services, in collaboration with a cross-sectional committee of university partners, has created a new, more streamlined approach to creating and maintaining university and unit-level policies online.

A new UIS Policies website, uis.edu/policies, is intended to be a one-stop shop for university policies. The site is searchable by policy type, audience or key words.
