Athabasca University Policy Manual

The Athabasca University Policy Manual is maintained and issued by the Office of the University Secretariat. It is the official source for Athabasca University's policies. Policies apply to all units under the jurisdiction of Athabasca University (whether located in Athabasca; at the Edmonton, or the Calgary Learning Centres; or at off-site locations) unless otherwise noted.

The AU Policy Manual is a public document.

One paper copy of each policy and each version of the policy will be kept in a central location within the Office of the President and will be considered the "original copy" of each policy. Policies are permanent records of Athabasca University and the final disposition of all policies will be the Archives. In the event of a discrepancy between the web site version and the formal signed hard-copy version, the latter shall govern.

Questions regarding content of a particular policy should be directed to the office responsible for that policy, as noted in the text of the policy.
