Administrative Policy Manual

The Northern Michigan University Administrative Policies Manual is designed as the focal point of all official university policies impacting daily operations of the university community. As the university's central collecting facility of essential information, this manual will be accessible to every faculty and staff member within the university community via the Human Resources Web site. Management of the University Administrative Policies Manual has been designated to the Human Resources Department.

All policies for inclusion into the Administrative Policies Manual must be submitted in accordance with the manual guidelines. Instructions on initiating a new policy or updating a current policy can be viewed in the Northern Michigan University Procedure Manual "Development of Policies." Development of new policies and updating of current policies will be the responsibility of the initiating division/department. A directory of all current policies is listed below.

Northern Michigan University is consistently revising and enhancing programs and activities to better serve the public. These efforts will often impact current policies thus requiring revision action. Therefore, at least annually, Human Resources will initiate a coordinated effort to review and update all policies with the respective departments and divisions.

Please note that many of the listed policies below may require implementing or processing procedures. Each policy will state within the policy and include a link to any required procedures. Click here to proceed directly to the university administrative procedures manual.

Any questions or suggestions for improving this manual can be directed to the Human Resources 906-227-2330.
