System Administration Policies are policies approved by the Chancellor that apply only to the System Administration (that is, not to UNT, UNT Dallas, or UNT Health Science Center).
After the need for a new regulation or policy is identified, the subject matter expert creates a draft. The Policy Manager assists by ensuring the draft is complete and consistent with the UNT System Policy Style Guide. After review by any stakeholders identified by the subject matter expert, the final draft is submitted to the UNT System Office of General Counsel for legal sufficiency review. If necessary, the draft is returned to the subject matter expert for required changes and resubmitted for review.
After a regulation or policy is approved for legal sufficiency, it must be reviewed
and approved by the Vice Chancellors and finally by the Chancellor. Some regulations
or policies may also require approval by the Board of Regents.
Policy is an official governing statement that has been formally reviewed and approved to provide guidance in the administration of the University of North Texas System Administration.
Procedures are documents that detail how to implement a policy. Policy is the “what”
and procedures are the “how.”
Please contact the UNT System Policy Manager with any questions regarding the policy process or policy management.
