University Policies

‌¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ Policies are the single source of ¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ institution-wide policies not otherwise available in other official source publications such as the University Calendar or Collective Agreements.

These policies are divided into several broad subject categories listed below.  Under these categories, there are subsets of policies; Travel Policies within Financial Services and Payroll within Human Resources as an example.

Policymaking at ¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ is governed by the Policy On Establishing University Policies & Procedures found here: Policy on Establishing University Policies & Procedures (Policy 12-001) . Any questions about policies or the process for developing policies can be directed to the University Secretary & General Counsel, Claire Milton, at board@smu.ca.
