The Office of Institutional Policy Management is responsible for ensuring that university-wide policies and procedures are developed and maintained in a manner that is efficient, consistent, and transparent. The office facilitates and supports the development, review, approval, and dissemination of policies by providing standardized templates, overseeing routing and records management, and monitoring applicable internal and external requirements related to new or revised policies. Although the office does not draft or enforce policies, it provides institutional oversight, guidance, and best practices for University policy and procedure initiatives. In accordance with UMB’s Policy on Policy Review, the office endeavors to review existing policies on a five-year review cycle.
