Administrative Regulation 1.8.1:  Procedures and Guidelines for Administrative Regulations

____________________________________________________________________________________

Administrative Regulations

Administrative Regulations include the processes EWC shall take to ensure that the correlating Board policies are adhered to by a specific department or the institution. The Administrative Regulation (Admin Reg) shall at a minimum:

  • Identify the responsible department
  • List the specific steps that shall be taken to comply with the Board Policy
  • Set deadlines for the action to be taken by, if appropriate
  • Identify if there are accompanying documents, i.e., handbooks, or standard operating procedures that a department will be responsible for maintaining.

The EWC President shall ensure that Administrative Regulations are adopted, reviewed and maintained by the appropriate functional departments, which include, Academic Service, Administrative Services, Student Services, Human Resources and IT. The EWC President shall delegate to the appropriate functional department leader the responsibility of reviewing the Board Policies and Administrative Regulations for accuracy and relevance.

Administrative Regulations Process – New or Revised ARs

  1. The College leadership will work with the appropriate committee to review edit or draft any Administrative Regulation (AR).
  2. The committee will submit any proposed ARs to the President’s Cabinet for consideration.
  3. The President’s Cabinet shall review the proposed AR.  If the President’s Cabinet recommends approval of the AR, it shall be referred to the President’s Office.  If it is not approved, it will be returned to the originating committee.
  4. After 10 working days, the proposed AR and any comments submitted will be considered by the President’s Cabinet at their next meeting. Once the AR is considered to be in its final form, it will be submitted to the Office of the President and reviewed by legal counsel, if necessary.
  5. Following the comment period, the President’s Cabinet will consider any comments and submit a draft to the Office of the President.
  6. The College President shall determine the final approval of the proposed AR.
  7. The President will notify the Board of Trustees of any final adoption of any AR at the Boards regularly scheduled meeting.
  8. The President’s office will direct the final regulation to be published to the EWC Website.
  9. When time or circumstances do not allow for this process, the president, in consultation with the President’s Cabinet and the Board of Trustee’s chairperson, may edit or adopt an emergency AR.  The President’s Office will direct the AR to be published to the EWC Website.  The President’s Office will also refer the emergency AR to the appropriate committee for review and consideration.
