Faculty and Staff
Policies and Procedures
This web site provides faculty and staff with a tool to quickly
locate University policies and procedures for a variety of business and administrative
functions. This tool consists of several search options that assist the user
in linking to web sites containing University-wide policies and procedures. Where web sites do not exist, the user is provided with the department or office
to contact for more information. Please note that the scope of this site is
limited to University-wide policies and procedures applicable to faculty and
staff; therefore all student, as well as school, department, and center specific
policies and procedures are excluded.
Other Northwestern web sites, linked to from this site, are maintained
by the department or office responsible for their administration or enforcement. These policy statements and procedures are subject to modification; therefore
the user should consult the office listed under "Contact" to ensure
that the policy statement is the most current formulation of that policy. All
links originating from this web site are maintained by the contact listed at
the bottom of this page. Faulty links found on department web sites should be
reported to the particular department responsible for the web site.
While the links and references in this web site provide access
to a broad range of administrative and business policies and procedures, faculty
and staff should be aware that the site does not include a link or reference
to every policy at the University.
