GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY POLICY LIBRARY

Search

The Policy Library contains all approved University policies and procedures.

All policy documents in the Policy Library are governed by the Policy Governance Framework and have been categorised under the three headings of Academic, Governance and Operational. Our Framework reflects and embeds our values of fairness, equity, diversity and inclusion and provides a safe and supportive environment for all staff and students.

You can search for policies and procedures by using the text search bar at the top of this page or by clicking on one of the policy document categories below.

Resources

We have a range of resources to support the development, review and approval of policy documents.

POLICY LIBRARY RESOURCES

Our policy documents are regularly reviewed, and sometimes new policy documents need to be developed. The following resources support Policy Advisors with review and development, as outlined in the Policy Governance Policy and Policy Governance Procedure.

For information about the Policy Governance Framework, or for help with governance or operational policy documents please contact the Policy Library Manager in Corporate Governance at policy@griffith.edu.au.

For help with academic policy documents please contact Student Credentials at policyservices@griffith.edu.au.

POLICY APPROVAL INFORMATION

Policy approval is determined through delegated authority. Only Council can delegate this authority. Only the Vice Chancellor can sub-delegate authority to approve policy documents that have been delegated to her.

This delegated or sub-delegated authority includes the approval of new policy documents, and amendments to, or recission of, existing policy documents.

IMPORTANT: Policy and Delegations Review Project

A major review of the University’s policy documents and delegations is currently underway as we transition to the Policy Governance Framework and the Delegations Framework.  As policy documents and delegations are reviewed, they will be:

  1. Converted to new templates (existing policy documents will remain on the old template until the major review is complete).
  2. Updated to reflect changes brought about by the R2S Program and the Chancellery Review unless immediate change is required for operational or compliance reasons.

Where position titles have changed, the equivalent new position will have the same accountability under the policy as the previous position did, until such time as the document is updated. For those instances where an equivalent position does not exist in the new structure, section 3.1 (c) of the Delegations Policy applies: ‘Authorities held by a delegate are included in those held by the delegate’s line manager, subject to any professional qualification requirements. The delegate’s line manager may exercise the delegated authority in the absence of the delegate, subject to compliance with legislation and University policy’.

If you have any queries or think that a policy requires urgent change for operational or compliance reasons, please contact the Policy Advisor listed on the policy document or send an enquiry to policy@griffith.edu.au.
