AA-FH-PO-07 Faculty Absences and Leaves Policy
The Office of the Provost previously requested updates to this policy. Language was updated requiring department chair approval prior to changing the modality of a class. Leaves of absence without pay will be limited to one year, with the exception of certain unusual circumstances.

This policy was updated as part of a regularly scheduled review. The language “an annual evaluation of individual faculty for guidance in recommending promotions, reappointments, nonrenewal of appointment, tenure, and salary changes” was removed from the policy to better align with current practices.
CO-CV-PO-01 Parking and Traffic Policy
This new policy was put in place as a controlling parking and traffic policy to govern parking and traffic regulations at UTA.
GA-RFS-PO-01 Staff Advisory Council (SAC) Bylaws Policy
