Introduction
The CSU Policy Library is the sole authoritative source of official academic and administrative
policies, procedures, guidelines, rules and regulations of the University.
CSU Policy Library has been developed to provide easy access for students, staff and other
stakeholders to current and past University rules, policies, procedures and guidelines.
Policies can be found by browsing the A to Z listing or by using the Search facility.
The Policy Library Bulletin Board provides access to policies under review for feedback and comment
and notice of new and recently revised policy documents.
To assist users of the CSU Policy Library - a frequently asked questions (FAQ) page provides
information on the CSU Policy Library and there is also a common glossary of terms and their
standard definitions for policies, procedures and guidelines.
Each policy document includes information on who is responsible for the policy and links to
information associated with the policy.
Resources for policy development and review are available for policy authors and developers from the
