University Policies

University Policies are statements of institutional positions. They both reflect and support the University’s mission and values. While developed primarily to guide institutional decisions or actions, they may also articulate the institution’s compliance with external mandates, encourage efficient use of resources or promote consistency by those acting for the institution.

The MSUM policies are available alphabetically, by category and by search. To submit a new policy or to request an existing policy be reviewed, please contact us.
