University Policies
Saint Mary's Policies are the single source of Saint Mary's institution-wide policies not otherwise available in other official source publications such as the University Calendar or Collective Agreements.
These policies are divided into several broad subject categories listed below. Under these categories, there are subsets of policies; Travel Policies within Financial Services and Payroll within Human Resources as an example.
Policymaking at Saint Mary's is governed by the Policy On Establishing University Policies & Procedures found here: Policy on Establishing University Policies & Procedures (Policy 12-001) . Any questions about policies or the process for developing policies can be directed to the University Secretary & General Counsel, Claire Milton, at board@smu.ca.

- Financial Services Policies
- Grants and Research Policies
- Human Resources Policies

- Printing Policies
Each policy, procedure, or guideline contains information at the start, including the department responsible for developing and maintaining the document ("owner" of the policy). Any questions concerning a policy should be directed to the responsible department.
Definitions may also support your understanding of the components of policy governance.
