IMPORTANT: Paper copies of new and revised policies are no longer mailed to manual custodians, so if a department wishes to continue to maintain a hard copy of their manual, they need to click on the links provided and print out replacement pages to insert in their manual. We encourage everyone to use this electronic version of the manual. You will always have the most recent policies and not run the risk that a hard copy manual has not been updated. In addition, the electronic format ensures wide access to policies, enables electronic searches, and allows for quick update of policies. |
