Policy Management and Development
About Policy Management and Development
The Policy Management and Development program is supported by the Audit and Policy Coordinator (APC). The APC provides policy management and development services by researching, managing and developing relevant policies for the campus community. Additionally, the APC coordinates between Audit Services and Policy Management and Development programs, creating a unique perspective for the campus.
Combining audit and policy work allows the campus to leverage internal and external audit findings when implementing new policies, procedures and, where necessary, strengthening internal controls. As a result, the university can increase achievements in operations, reporting and compliance objectives.

Policies and Executive Directives
Search through our libraries of CSU, University Campuswide policies and University Executive Directives.
The California State University policy library
is the university's repository for all systemwide policies that establish oversight, guidelines and procedures.
Campuswide policies
are guiding principles at the Cabinet or departmental-level and are tied to a campus-specific business process where a CSU policy does not provide sufficient guidance.
University Executive Directives
are guiding principles that promote consistency and operational efficiency, enhance our mission, mitigate significant organizational risk and apply to the university.
