This website contains official University Policy documents that have been adopted in accordance with Auburn University Policy on Policies and Auburn University Montgomery Policy on Policies. University policies are designed to enhance Auburn University and Auburn University Montgomery missions, to promote operational effectiveness, and reduce institutional risks. The process for developing, approving, and managing University Policies is coordinated through Auburn University's Office of the General Counsel and AUM's Office of the Chancellor.
University Policy documents are not contracts. The Board of Trustees and authorized Executive Officers of the University maintain exclusive discretion to exercise the customary function of institutional management to revise University Policies as they deem appropriate.
Questions regarding specific University Policies should be directed to the department responsible for administering that policy. Schools, colleges, and some offices may have additional policies or procedures that apply only to their students, faculty, or staff which are housed at the department level. In the event of a conflict, University Policies supersede a school, college, department, division, or unit-level policy.
