Five system policy changes take effect this month

The Office of Policy and Efficiency (OPE) announces changes to five administrative policy statements (APS) from the areas of fiscal, human resources, and risk management - including two rescinded policies that have been rolled into fiscal procedures and three policy revisions.

The changes, approved by President Bruce Benson, became effective Jan. 1, 2012. Overall, these actions will reduce the total number of system APSs from 92 to 90.  For more detailed information, go to https://www.cu.edu/policies/aps-changes.html.
