UBC’s Board of Governors establishes Board Policies to provide direction to the UBC community regarding a range of matters that fall within its statutory authority. Procedures and Rules established pursuant to Board Policies provide direction regarding the operational application of Board Policies while Guidelines provide guidance as to how the associated Board Policy, Procedures, and Rules are implemented.
The Office of the University Counsel (“OUC”) maintains the official repository of Policies approved by the Board of Governors, and associated Procedures, Rules, and Guidelines.
In 2019, UBC updated the identification system for all Board Policies currently in effect. Board Policies can be found using the updated identification system. In the table below, you can browse a sortable list of the Board Policies (sortable by Policy Number, Short Title, Responsible Executive, or Responsible Board Committee), or use the search bar to locate specific content within the table.
If you wish to refer to Board Policies, the recommended practice is to refer to them by their short titles, which are persistent and will not be changed as long as the Board Policy is in effect. To link to a Board Policy, please use the link of the Explanatory Notes Page for the applicable Board Policy to ensure access to the most current version.
