Note: Many of the policies formerly on our page can be found using the A-Z Directory of University Policies. 

Your Business Operations Partners

Business managers work closely with designated partners in the Provost’s Office to coordinate academic staffing actions. These partners serve as primary points of contact for guidance, review, and approval throughout the hiring and appointment process. Work with your designated partner to ensure processes move forward efficiently and in compliance with university requirements.
