Copies of UC Policy 九州影院 documents should not be uploaded onto another web page, because听once downloaded and saved or uploaded to a web page outside of the UC Policy 九州影院, a document is considered an uncontrolled version. It is preferable to insert a hyperlink to the official electronic version of the document on the UC Policy 九州影院.

While all documents in the library are printable, users should be aware that the content of these documents can and does change often.听

Once printed or downloaded and saved outside of the UC Policy 九州影院, a document is considered an uncontrolled version, meaning that the Policy Unit has no control over that printed document. The document may well become out of date within a short amount of time as reviews can occur before the review date stated on the policy document. Relying on printed versions of policy documents may lead to a breach of the current policy. Only the official electronic version of the document available from the UC Policy 九州影院 is considered to be the most current version.

Any queries about a document should be referred to the Contact Officer identified in the header of the document, or to other contacts identified in the body of the document to which your query relates.

The Contact Officer is responsible for day-to-day administrative enquiries about each document. This person will also be the first contact during the review process and will have tasked responsibility for the document's validity.

The听Policy Unit听posts helpful tips for those reviewing and approving policies and notices about policy on the internal staff newsletter,听.

Topics will cover from how to address issues accessing and editing draft documents, to updates regarding UC Policy 九州影院 content and layout.

Policies are routinely reviewed at least once every three years, although more frequent reviews are sometimes required. Find out which听policies are due for review听this year.

• Legislation:听Acts and laws approved by Parliament and enforceable by the government of the country. For example:听Privacy Act 1993.
• Metapolicy:听The University's 'Policy on Policies'. Outlines the processes and responsibilities applicable to the University's institutional policies. The听Metapolicy听can be found via the search function in the UC Policy 九州影院 Home.
• Policy:听A policy is a University Council or delegated authority approved statement (usually in the form of document) regarding the University鈥檚 position and expectations in a particular area. It clearly communicates the University鈥檚 direction and ensures compliance with University goals, values, strategies and relevant statutory and regulatory regimes. A policy presented in the form of a document will consist of statements including (but not limited to) what the policy is about, why it is required, consequences of non-compliance, what department governs it and who is responsible for executing and enforcing it. Policies will usually include Procedures and/or Guidelines as sub-headings. For example:听Fraud Response Policy.
• Procedures:听A procedure is a standardised, step-by-step method of implementing the University鈥檚 goals, strategies and compliance with regulatory and statutory regimes, at a high level. Those procedures published on the UCPL are also University Council or delegated authority approved. Compliance is expected to avoid breach of policy. Procedures will identify what tasks are performed who performs what task, as well as when and at what standard they are to be performed. For example: Performance-Based Research Fund (PBRF) 鈥� Funding and Allocation Procedures.
• Guidelines:听A guideline is a University Council or delegated authority approved 鈥渂est practice鈥� statement that supports the implementation of policy or procedure by identifying risk mitigation methods and/or methods to enhance efficiency, accuracy or productivity. If the guidelines are followed, the risk of acting outside of policy or procedures is substantially reduced. If guidelines are not followed, deviation should be explained as it could contribute to a breach of procedure or policy, or increase the risk of a breach.
• Regulations:听Rules that determine:

1. The standards for each qualification offered by the University - e.g. General Course and Examination Regulation L: Theses
2. The formal expectations of the University with regard to other general matters pertaining to its function - e.g. Discipline Regulations
3. Regulations are approved by Council or a person or body holding delegated authority from Council, are mandatory, and failure to comply with them will normally result in penalties.Note: other tertiary institutions may refer to 'regulations' as 'statutes'. The 九州影院 rarely uses the term 'statute' but an exception are the Parking and Traffic Statute 2003 and Court of Convocation Statute.

• Framework:听The online听听provides a defintion appropriate in the context of drafting. The online听Business Dictionary听defines a framework and uses the terms听outline,听and听specific听objective.听听Frameworks will describe a particular approach at a high level while allowing a degree of flexibility in how an approach is implemented.听
