University Policies and Procedures

Welcome to Western Washington University's web site for university policies. This site was established in August 2006 to provide a central location for policies that affect the campus community.

A university policy is defined by the following criteria:

• Connects the university's mission to individual conduct;
• Establishes specific requirements for members of the campus community;
• Ensures compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
• Promotes operational efficiencies and reduces institutional risks; and
• Pertains to more than one division or college of the university.

Please note that individual colleges or divisions may maintain policies and procedures related specifically to their units. Refer to those departments directly for accessing program-specific policies.

Every effort has been made to provide accurate information. It is possible that a policy has been amended since posting on the web or that a more current version of a policy exists.

Questions or comments may be directed to the University Policy Coordinator at: Policies@wwu.edu / (360)650-3117.
