Policies Toolkit

West Chester University’s mission statement states that “West Chester University is a community of educators that develops graduates to succeed personally and professionally and contribute to the common good.” To that end, policies and procedures are in place to guide our work and are aligned with our mission and strategic plan as well as other statutory and regulatory requirements.

We have created this tool kit to assist YOU with your policy work.

  1. Are you creating a NEW policy?
  2. Are you reviewing or revising and EXISTING policy?
  3. Are you considering RESCINDING a policy?
  4. Are you creating a TEMPORARY policy?

There are 4 linked subfolders related to each of the above questions that include specific policy templates, a policy development/review checklist, business rules, as well as sample policies and contact information from each University Division.
