For information regarding developing a new policy or revising an existing policy, see the PRF website or contact PRF; e-mail <a href=\"mailto:policies@wsu.edu\">policies@wsu.edu<\/a>. The policy development and review process are set forth in <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/index\/manuals\/business-policies-and-procedures-manual\/bppm-10-38\/\">UPPM 10.38<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/index\/manuals\/business-policies-and-procedures-manual\/bppm-10-38\/\">UPPM 10.38<\/a> also sets forth departmental responsibilities for ensuring policies are accurate and up to date. PRF works with responsible departments to help ensure necessary revisions are made in a timely manner but reserves the right to remove policies that are inaccurate or out of date.<\/p>\n<p>PRF maintains the authoritative version of the UPPM online in HTML. Users may print or save copies to PDF.<\/p>\n<h3>Policy Revision History<\/h3>\n<p>Substantive revisions are identified in a revision history section at the end of the policy. The revision history provides a list of the substantive revision dates, in descending order of publication (newest to oldest).<\/p>\n<p>For revisions published since 2016, links are provided in the revision history to revision memos which summarize the changes. For revisions published prior to 2016, users may contact PRF for archive copies of the revision memos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: .8rem\">_______________________<br \/><strong>Revisions:<\/strong>\u00a0 December 2022 (Rev. <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/bppm-manual-revisions\/bppm-revision-603\/\">603<\/a>); May 2018 (Rev. <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/bppm-manual-revisions\/bppm-revision-513\/\">513<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business Policies and Procedures Manual Introduction<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1061,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"wsuwp_university_location":[],"wsuwp_university_org":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21675"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1061"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21675"}],"version-history":[{"count":54,"href":"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21675\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68475,"href":"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21675\/revisions\/68475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_location?post=21675"},{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_org","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_org?post=21675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
