Administrative, finance and research policies manage administrative, financial and research processes and procedures and apply primarily to the operations of the school. Our policies promote:
- consistent definitions, process and format for policies and procedures
- the appropriate level, scope and frequency of oversight to unit-level policies and procedures
- clarity, transparency and shared understanding
- addresses a process that is not already covered by another policy
A policy on establishing new policies assists the School of Dentistry in maintaining compliance with accreditation standards and ensures an environment of institutional effectiveness.
