Academic Policy Series

A related website is the Faculty Handbook.

The Academic Policy Series states campus policy in academic areas. Many policies provide guidelines and a calendar for proposals, requests, and reports submitted periodically. Some policies implement policy of the Arkansas Department of Higher Education and the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees. Policies and revisions are issued at least once each academic year, typically with the start of the fall semester.
Academic Policy 1200.00 is a calendar of dates and deadlines for submissions. Academic Policies 1405.101 and 1405.121 summarize deadlines in faculty personnel processes. These three policies are reissued annually.
Questions regarding any policy should be directed to the Office of the Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Administration Building 422, telephone 575-2151, email netal@comp.uark.edu.
