Administrative manuals to be combined

The Office of Policies, Records, and Forms (PRF) is consolidating the existing administrative manuals into a single University Policies and Procedures Manual (UPPM).

As policies are relocated, policy owners and other users will need to update links and citations on their websites, online materials, training materials, templates, and other publications. Here is what you need to know:

  • Phase 1 (completed): The Business Policies and Procedures Manual (BPPM) has been replaced with the UPPM. Both names will be used on the policy website during the transition, with the BPPM name completely phased out by the end of the 2026 fiscal year.
  • Phase 2 (completed): All Executive Policies (EP) moved into the UPPM (see the policy Crosswalk).
  • Phase 3 (in progress): Board of Regents (BOR) policies will be moved into the UPPM by the end of the Spring 2026 semester.
    • BOR policies will become Chapter 1 of the UPPM
    • Existing BOR links will be redirected.

PRF will continue to publish announcements and reminders to ensure policy owners and users are aware of significant actions. In the meantime, PRF is continually reviewing, circulating, updating, retiring, and combining individual policies, as well as helping WSU units draft new policies. If you have questions or need help, please contact us at policies@wsu.edu.
