Board Policies

Board policy consists of formally adopted written statements that constitute basic Board leadership and provide direction to the President and staff in matters of decision-making and/or specific actions. Board policy is reviewed monthly; however, unless circumstances require immediate action, “no policy shall be voted upon at the first meeting during which it is discussed.” I.D.080. 

RCC is in a multi-year process to review the policies of Rogue Community College. As this is an evolving process, new policies that have been approved by the Board are posted at the new and updated board policies page. For existing policies not yet reviewed and approved please see below.
