How to Develop a Policy
Policy writers should use the following policy templates and style guides during the policy development process.
- Fill out the Summary Document to summarize the policy, indicate the reasons for the policy proposal, identify potential stakeholders
- Submit the Summary Document to policy@weber.edu who will work with the appropriate policy sponsor.
- Once you have approval from the policy sponsor to move forward with your policy proposal, work with the Policy Office to move your proposal forward (contact policy@weber.edu)
- All new policy proposals or changes to existing policies must be presented with redlines in the Policy Template to standardize the formatting of policies
Style Guides
