Policy Title: THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL

Formally adopted and approved for release by the East Central Community College (ECCC) Board of Trustees on September 13, 1988, this Policies and Procedures Manual is the official compilation of all policies and procedures that have been adopted by the Board of Trustees to provide the basis for the governance of the College. ECCC recognizes the fact that any educational institution, in order to disseminate information, provide continuity, and establish policy, should have available to the administration, faculty, staff, support personnel, and students a policies and procedures manual. Therefore, this Policies and Procedures Manual for ECCC is the result of study, effort, and input from all divisions of the institution. Each section of the manual was prepared with careful attention being given to the present and future implications of the document and with the realization that time and circumstance will necessitate periodic revision. This Policies and Procedures Manual was compiled, not as a static document, but as a guide to be used for the operation and improvement of life, work, and study at ECCC. Included in the manual, among other things, are definitions of the parameters of responsibility of the Board of Trustees; duties and responsibilities of the administrative officers and professional personnel; patterns of institutional organization; statements governing employment at the College; statements governing due process; statements addressing student regulations; and other institutional policies and procedures that affect the faculty, administrative staff, other personnel, and students. The policies and procedures contained in the manual will be reviewed and evaluated for accuracy and appropriateness on a continuous basis and the manual will be published and maintained electronically on the College’s website. All revisions of existing policies and procedures, the addition of new policies and procedures, and/or the deletion of policies and procedures will be approved by the Board of Trustees prior to the implementation of such changes. A complete administrative evaluation and revision of the Policies and Procedures Manual shall be completed every five (5) years. (2010, 2015, 2020, etc.)
