Handbooks

University Handbook

The USI University Handbook is primarily for the faculty, administrative and support staff of the University. The aim of the University Handbook is to assemble basic information, including practices, policies, rules, regulations and procedures which are of importance and general interest to the USI faculty and staff members. In an evolving and dynamic institution of higher education, policies and procedures are subject to constant change and revision; and the University, through appropriate processes, reserves the right to add, amend or repeal policies and procedures and related publications, regulations, rules, resolutions, standing orders and rules of procedures, in whole or part.

This University Handbook is for informational purposes only. Every effort has been made to assure accuracy. However, should any conflict arise between the explanations presented in the University Handbook and the text of master policies, the text of the master policies shall govern in all cases. The president of the University is authorized to grant exceptions to established policies.

All requests for policy additions, deletions and revisions should be sent to Human Resources.
