This Online Policy Manual contains policies adopted by the University System Board of Trustees, the Presidents’ Council (also known as Administrative Board), the Chancellor’s office (also known as the University System Administration), and each of the USNH institutions, Keene State College, Plymouth State University, and the University of New Hampshire. We have published only those policies which the promulgating body determined should be distributed through this mechanism. Although every effort has been made to make this manual accurate and up-to-date, we can not guarantee that it is completely accurate. For further information about existing policies, including effective dates, please contact either of the individuals listed below.

The policies published in this manual are subject to amendment and repeal at any time and without notice.

Citation Syntax

USNH policies are organized both by campus and by subject, and policy citations follow a specific syntax that reflects this structure.

For example, the policy citation "BOT.V.C.5.2.4" is parsed as:

BOT.
CAMPUS SECTION in which the policy is found (in this case, the Board of Trustees).

V.
TOPIC SECTION of the referenced Campus Section (in this case, Personnel Policies).

C.
TOPIC SUBSECTION of the referenced Topic Section (in this case, Employment).

5.2.4
PARAGRAPH NUMBER of the specific policy, where each decimal point represents one level of indentation, or "nesting".
