Repository of Board of Governors Policies, Procedures, Rules, and Guidelines

UBC’s Board of Governors develops and approves policies for the University. University policies provide direction on specific topics and issues, along with procedures and standards for compliance.

UBC has recently undertaken an effort to update the identification system for all policies currently in effect. You can read more about this initiative and FAQ here. The Office of the University Counsel (“OUC”) is the source of record for UBC Policies approved by the Board of Governors.

Policies can be found using the original or updated identification system. In the table below, you can browse a sortable list of the policies, or use the search bar to locate specific content within the table.
