Policies are set rules and guidelines that control different aspects of academic and administrative activities in a university setting.

Our University have policies in place to make sure that various departments and divisions operate consistently, fairly, and effectively. By establishing clear expectations and ensuring compliance with legal requirements and standards, policies help control risks by offering guidance on matters such as safety and ethical behavior. They also foster fairness. Policies also improve accountability, expedite decision-making, and maintain high standards in research and teaching. All things considered, university policies are essential to establishing a disciplined and well-run atmosphere that supports the institution's mission and objectives.
