The University at Buffalo Policy Library serves as the official repository for all university-wide policies.

Some of the policies herein have already been vetted as part of the policy review project and have been written in the new standard format.  Others have been carried over and are pending review.  Therefore, both new and old policy formats will coexist for some period of time.  Regardless of their current review or format status, all policies on this web site are in force.

Note:  To the extent that different versions of these policies appear elsewhere, the version set forth here shall be the official version, and takes priority over any inconsistent or conflicting version.
