Policy statements should be clear, concise and complete. Where practical, ancillary material not strictly integral to statement being made should be reserved to an attachment or appendix or omitted altogether. Appendices or Attachments Separate statements, tables, or forms referred to in the policy statement. Procedures are formatted much like policies, except that their purpose is to provide implementing guidelines, usually based upon a parent policy. Procedures can be stand-alone in those cases where there are existing UCOP or other policies or where situations unique to the UCLA campus require implementing guidelines only.
