TCNJ Policy Manual
This on-line policy manual is intended to provide information on policies and procedures at The College of New Jersey that have been approved through The College's governance process. The material in this manual goes back to 1985. It does not include all policies and procedures in effect at The College of New Jersey since policy and procedure also can be found in union contracts, governmental (both state and federal) laws and regulations, and administrative processes.
In addition to the material in this manual, the Steering Committee maintains a governance repository in paper format. That repository includes: minutes; reports; documents on academic programs that have been approved or discontinued; older policies that have since been superceded; and issues and questions that have been raised but did not result in policies and procedures that have been adopted by TCNJ. To see these materials, call the Steering Committee office at x2200.
