Governing Documents
The university's governing documents encompass a variety of critical materials, such as its charters, bylaws, codes of conduct, and other essential policies. They are designed to uphold the university's commitment to academic excellence, integrity, and inclusivity. These documents offer a roadmap for decision-making, dispute resolution, and protecting the rights and responsibilities of all university community members, from students and faculty to staff and administrators.

In this new approach, documents governing the university have been divided into three categories: (1) Policies, (2) Regulations, and (3) Unit Standards. This allows for a consistent use of terminology campus-wide and with affiliated entities.
In keeping with Commitment 4 of the WSSU Strategic Plan 2030 (Institutional Excellence), a new approach to creating university policies, procedures, and other critical documents was evaluated. A framework that largely mirrors the policy approach of the University of North Carolina System has been utilized.
The policies will now be displayed on a new platform – DocTract. DocTract not only allows for the display of policies but also provides an internal routing for review and audit trail of all actions taken on any document displayed.
