Welcome to the UGPD's Policy Exchange provides a single national clearing house for university governance policy documentation commonly used by members of and support staff for university governing bodies, which may be of assistance to you in undertaking your responsibilities. The originating institution can provide either the link to policy's location on their own website, or upload the document to us, or both.
The documents in this service are donated by other members. Naturally, not every possible document is included here. We are endeavouring to increase the number of available documents over time. We encourage you to Donate A Policy so that this continues to be a valuable service to other members.
The list of policies below can be sorted by clicking on any column heading. The policies are organised by general topics. In future we will install a function to search the database by keywords.
