The ETSU Policy Development and Rulemaking Policy governs the policy development process. Any ETSU student or employee who would like to propose a policy should read the Policy Development and Rulemaking Policy. Please note, unit specific rules are different than University Policy as described in Section E of Policy Development and Rulemaking. Recommendations for new or revised unit rules go through the unit’s established procedures for addressing new rules. Unit rules must be consistent with the intent and purpose of University Policies and relevant law.
The following documents will be useful as you move forward through the policy proposal process:

Quick Reference Guide

The Policy Template is a word document that assists in the formatting and drafting of the proposed policy. Anyone who plans to propose a policy needs to insert their proposed policy into the Template before submitting the policy for review. The proposed policy must meet all formatting requirements as outlined in the Policy Drafting Guidelines. -
