About
Welcome to the Office of Policy and Compliance for Colorado State University. This website is designed to make University policies more accessible and transparent and to describe the processes for establishing and revising official CSU policies.
The OPC is responsible for research, drafting, and facilitating the approval process for a wide range of University policy documents. In addition, the OPC leads a University-wide Compliance Committee to review compliance issues and foster business practices that comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations across many administrative and academic areas. The Director of Policy and Compliance reports to the Vice President for University Operations.
