OVERVIEW

The purpose of this TCC Policy and Procedures website is to ensure that the college community has ready access to well-articulated and understandable college policies and procedures. Policies and procedures that are easy to find, read and understand will help the college accomplish its mission, maintain accountability, provide employees and students with clear and concise guidelines, and clarify how the college conducts business.

To ensure ready access to college policies and procedures, this website will contain the most current approved version of all college policies with their associated procedures and forms. The documents on the TCC Policies and Procedures website will constitute the only official college-wide policies for Tidewater Community College.

To maintain an organized system of change control and to ensure consistency throughout the college, individual departmental web sites may not contain separate copies or versions of TCC policies or their associated procedures. Instead, departmental web sites that reference TCC policies and procedures must use hyperlinks to the documents on the official TCC Policies and Procedures website. This does not preclude departments from maintaining internal departmental policies and procedures on their websites, provided the internal departmental policies and procedures are not identified as and do not conflict with official college policies and procedures.

All college policies and procedures are currently undergoing review and formatting for posting to this website. As this process is completed for each policy, it will be posted to this website in the appropriate category. Any policy not yet posted may be obtained from the office of the Vice President for Administration.
