About This Site

Welcome to Columbia University's Administrative Policy Library. This library is a repository for policies administered by the departments reporting up to the Senior Executive Vice President and other select departments.

A note on policy format: In January 2006 the University adopted a standard format for administrative policies. Subsequently, all new policies will be written in this format and all revised policies will be rewritten in this format; therefore, both old and new formats will coexist for some period of time. You may also note that some policies have numbers in parentheses in their titles. These numbers refer to formatting in previous documents and repositories and have been included as a reference.
