SUNY Policy Web Site
The State University of New York has developed a Web site of university-wide policies and procedures, www.suny.info/policies. The site contains governing policies, procedures, and forms for the university that are currently in effect.

The objective of the Web site is to provide a common resource for employees, students, and parents to find information and answers to questions concerning the policies of the State University of New York. The site provides an easily searchable format for users to locate specific information. There are three ways to navigate the site: alphabetically by policy, procedure, or form; by category; and full-text search.

Please note that a responsible System Administration office and the college sector(s) to which the policy is applicable (i.e., state-operated campus or community college) are identified at the beginning of each document. In addition to the documents created by the university, users are directed to various external Web sites (i.e., Office of the State Comptroller, Office of General Services, Governor's Office of Employee Relations, federal agencies, and professional associations) that provide additional information pertaining to the everyday activities of the university and its affiliated programs and related entities.

Although not all documents have been revised/updated or legally reviewed for the new Web site at this time, the majority of SUNY's policies and procedures are now available. SUNY will continue to add documents as they are completed.
