Some ASU policies and procedures exhibits are in PDF format. Research and Sponsored Projects has developed an online help page for accessing PDF files.

Several of the policies refer to the Arizona Board of Regents Policy Manual, the complete and official body of policies for the governance and operation of the Arizona University System. This manual is in PDF format, also.

Manual coordinators can review guidelines and schedules for submission of revisions by reading Submission Guidelines for Manual Revisions. Please note the submission and posting dates listed under “Manual Revision Schedule.”

The ASU system of administrative manuals is produced by University Administration. Online manuals replace the earlier paper editions, which are no longer produced. In accordance with Arizona public records laws and requirements, a printout of the online text serves as the official record, which is available for inspection at University Archives. To access earlier versions of the manuals, please send an e-mail to University Archives at archives@asu.edu stating the manual name, the policy number, and the posting date(s) desired.

Manuals can increase productivity by reducing time spent in asking and answering questions, and they can provide valuable assistance in training new employees. In addition, they can ensure that policies and procedures will be preserved after key personnel leave a unit. The usefulness of the ASU family of administrative manuals created interest in the development of smaller internal manuals by various administrative units (college, division, department, or office).

This interest prompted the creation of a book on how to write a manual, Creating Administrative Manuals (CAM). Like the ASU administrative manuals, this was originally published in a paper-print edition and distributed only to classes conducted on how to develop a desk manual. Although we no longer conduct such classes, we have received requests for copies of CAM, which is no longer in print. The CAM manual is now available to the university community on the Internet, but readers should understand that the original formatting to produce a paper-print manual does not translate easily to the Web. Therefore, we have provided ample exhibits that illustrate how such a manual would appear.

The ASU system of academic and administrative manuals is supervised by Sue Bishop, Director, Information Technology Services, University Administration (480/965-9889). We are located 1130 E. University Center, Suite 110 (University Drive east of Rural Road). Mail code 4104.
