Policy Review

To define the process for policy review and approval.

To ensure policies are current, relevant, and support the mission of the College, policies are reviewed at least every three years.

• Faculty or staff with a suggestion for policy change must talk with their supervisor before proceeding with the policy request form.
• Faculty or staff requesting revision to an existing policy or approval of a new one must use the Policy Request Form on the MCHP Intranet.
• The completed form and draft policy must be submitted on the MCHP Intranet and saved in the “Awaiting signatures” Folder.
• Faculty or staff must notify-as appropriate- the Dean, Registrar, Director of Admissions, Vice President of Finance, and Chief Academic Officer that their signatures are required.
• When the signatures are complete, the faculty or staff member will notify the Policy Chair, who will move the forms into the “Ready for Committee Review” folder and add the policy to the policy committee agenda.
• The faculty or staff requesting the policy change will be invited to the policy committee meeting.
• The Policy Request Form must be submitted before April 1st to be considered for the following academic year (exceptions will be considered).
• Policy changes approved throughout the year will become effective at the beginning of the following academic year to coincide with the publication of the College Catalog.
  1. The policy committee chair sends the registrar updated, new, or changed policies for the College Catalog.
  2. The registrar sends out the draft College Catalog before May 1st to verify the change were entered into the College Catalog.
• Changes that necessitate immediate implementation are communicated to the College community.
• The policy chair informs college personnel of any policy changes once the policies are approved by the Policy Commitee and College President at the end of the academic year via email.
