(A)
								Overview
This policy describes the numbering
				system used in the "Ohio University Policy Manual," so that new policy
				statements may be assigned numbers that are consistent with those already in
				use, and so that people wishing to find the policy statement that addresses a
				particular concern can more readily find it.
(1)
									Number
			 format
The policy numbering system will be a
				five-digit number consisting of a two-digit general classification number and a
				three-digit index number, separated by a period, in the form, "XX.YYY," with
				leading zeros for each part, as needed.
(2)
									Administrative
			 Code
Senate Bill 3, effective September 17,
				2014, requires that Ohio university rules be published both on the
				institution's web site (e.g., this manual), and as part of the Administrative
				Code. There is a direct mapping between the policy number and the
				Administrative Code number; the primary differences are that the Administrative
				Code number includes a prefix that is unique to Ohio university, and that
				leading zeros are less available in the Administrative Code system. For
				example, our "Policy 03.004 " will be identified as "rule
				3337-3-04 of
				the Administrative Code"; our "Policy 41.125 " will be identified as "rule
				3337-41-125
				of the Administrative Code"; etc. (In some contexts, the Administrative Code's
				rule number may have additional segments between the "3337-" and the last two
				segments that are derived from our policy number). Although the number of
				digits displayed within the Administrative Code is not always five, the
				numerical values do match.
(3)
									Reserved
			 numbers
The "Administrative Policy Manual," the
				"Faculty Handbook," and the "Student Code of Conduct" are distinct documents:
				each has its own formal review and approval process, and none is part of either
				of the others.
Some issues are more appropriately
				addressed within the "Faculty Handbook", or the "Student Code of Conduct,"
				rather than as part of this policy manual; other issues are best addressed
				here; and some issues will be addressed in more than one of those
				locations.
In order to facilitate publication of
				all three types of rules as part of the Administrative Code, while preventing
				the ambiguity that would result from numbering collisions among them, several
				general classification numbers are "reserved": they will not be assigned to any
				administrative policy, to ensure that their corresponding numbers within the
				Administrative Code are available for publication of faculty and student rules;
				see parts (D) and (H) of this policy.
(4)
									Assignment of
			 numbers
Numbers will be assigned to new policy
				statements by the office of legal affairs.
The basic general classifications and
				subject matter areas within these classifications will be as shown in the rest
				of this policy.
