How to Develop a Policy

Policies emerge from an individual or unit’s need to resolve a recurring issue and/or streamline a process. Our Nevada State Policy on Policy and Procedures outlines expectations and standards for how to create institutional policy and corresponding procedures. Before you consider submitting a policy request, please ensure your proposal meets the following requirements. All institutional policies must:

V

Support the University’s mission and strategic initiatives

V

Apply campus-wide

V

Promote operational efficiency and effectiveness

V

Implement Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) policy

V

Achieve compliance with laws, rules, regulations, or standards

To get started with your submission, please review the policy guide and complete the Policy Development Worksheet.

Policy Request

Once you have ensured your proposal meets the requirements outlined above, submit your request.

If your proposal is intended for a more focused audience, it may be better suited to be published as unit guidelines rather than an institutional policy. We can provide you with support in determining which is the most appropriate format and resources for best practices. Contact us at policy@nevadastate.edu to discuss your idea!
