Policy and Procedure Manual Preface

Welcome to the North Dakota State College of Science.
The on-line distribution of information is changing many aspects of organizational communications and this electronic version of the NDSCS Policy and Procedure Manual is a good example. The benefits of this change are many. They include cost savings and the promotion of timely and wide-spread delivery of important information.
The purpose of this handbook is to assist new employees in becoming acquainted with the North Dakota State College of Science and to provide guidance for all employees. The Employee Handbook of Personnel Policies is provided only for informational purposes. The policies and procedures described in this Handbook are not intended to create, nor are they to be interpreted to create, a contract between NDSCS and any of its employees. These policies are simply statements of methods of managing and can be changed from time to time by Administration as the need arises.
The policies contained within this manual are established by 1) federal and state laws and regulations, 2) the North Dakota State Board of Higher Education, 3) the Office of the President. Also included are some operating procedures established by the respective areas to facilitate delivery of a service to the campus community.
The dates in the history section of each policy are normally those dates the policy was approved or amended by the President or State Board of Higher Education. When policies are copied from Board policies, the italicized language is NDSCS implementing policy and/or procedure.
The official printed copy of the Policy and Procedure Manual is on file in the President's Office and the Office of Human Resources. There is an unofficial printed copy at the NDSCS Library. The development and publication of the Policy Manual is the responsibility of the Office of Human Resources.
