Drafting

Once a need is identified, the operational group consults the Office of General Counsel (OGC) for guidance and help to develop a policy for submission to the next appropriate level of review.
- Completion of the Policy Scope Statement Form before drafting a policy is encouraged to help best determine policy scope and impact.
Together the operational group and the Policy Specialist determine whether a policy:
- Is for internal purposes only (Internal Policy),
- Will affect other campus units (University Policy), or
- Is needed at all.
The operational group then drafts a policy that incorporates appropriate feedback.
- Use of the Standard Policy Template is strongly encouraged.
- For policies with University Impact:
  - Identify potential impact on constituent groups.
  - Gather feedback from the originating operational group.
  - Gather feedback from constituents.
- For policies with Internal Impact:
  - Gather feedback from the originating operational group.
