UW-Whitewater Policies

UW-Whitewater is dedicated to providing clear and consistent guidance to students, faculty, staff, and campus partners. To support this commitment, the university maintains the Policy Library, which serves as the single, up-to-date resource for all institution-level policies.

Some policies and procedures are developed and maintained at the departmental level and therefore do not appear in the Policy Library. To locate these materials, visit the Resources page or the respective department’s website.

If you identify a gap within the university’s policies, please refer to the Policy on Policies to learn about the process of developing, revising, or rescinding a policy. You may also schedule a consultation meeting with the Office of Compliance and Risk Management by completing the Policy Consultation Meeting Request Form.
