Academic Manual Home
The Academic Manual is an online central repository for all academic policies at Cal Poly Pomona. It contains academic policies that have come into existence as a result of the shared governance structure at Cal Poly Pomona. The development and/or revision of campus policies (PDF) starts with a referral submitted to the Academic Senate. Through research, consultation, and careful deliberation, the Academic Senate adopts policies, which are then transmitted to the President for review and approval. Following approval by the President, the policy is included in this Academic Manual.
Through the diligent work of the Academic Senate, a system of categorization (PDF) was proposed for academic policies. This system categorizes polices by broad functional areas and assigns blocks of policy numbers to each area. The areas included in the Academic Manual are:
| Policy Numbers | Area |
|---|---|
| 100 – 200 | Organization and Shared Governance |
| 1000 – 1099 | Academic Organization and Services |
| 1100 – 1199 | Curricular Policies |
| 1200 – 1299 | Research and Instructional Support |
| 1300 – 1399 | Academic Personnel Policies |
| 1400 – 1499 | Academic Standards and Regulations |
| 1500 – 1599 | General Policies |
| 1600 – 1699 | Grading and Student Affairs |
Please use the left navigation bar to browse through the policies. Alternatively use the search feature ("Search Academic Manual") to search for specific policies.
Note: Please note that the process of importing old policies into the academic manual is laborious and requires significant research. This work is ongoing, with the ultimate aim that all academic policies will be included in the Academic Manual.
