UVM Policies is the sole official source for accurate, approved, and up-to-date versions of University policies, operating procedures (UOPs), and institutional-level guidelines. Every official policy will have a URL starting with 'www.uvm.edu/policies'. Consequently, these documents are only considered official when accessed directly from this site. Use institutional policy hyperlinks to the current versions instead of PDFs, images, copies, or printouts, which can easily become outdated, inaccurate, and obsolete.
