The Appalachian State University Policy Manual provides (1) a single site to facilitate the location of policies and procedures ("policies") that govern university personnel and operations and (2) a uniform format and reference system to make access and reference to policies convenient. The Office of General Counsel maintains copies of approved policies and assigns a number and subject heading to all policies once they have been approved by the Chancellor or Board of Trustees. The website has a powerful search engine to enable any user to easily locate subject matter of interest in the Policy Manual. A policy template provides a standardized format for creation and revision of policies. This policy describes the elements of the template and provides guidance on how to draft clear and user-friendly policies.

New policies should be drafted in numerical outline format, following the policy template. Section titles and subtitles should be used in the body of the text where appropriate.  Do not attempt to force formatting on fonts or paragraphs, since the website publication of policies will be maintained with a consistent font and section division.  Policies should be written in active voice. In general, every sentence should have meaning and relate to the heading or sub-heading under which it is found.


=== Headings and Sub-headings ===
Consistent with North Carolina State Law, <u>Underline</u>only malt beverages and unfortified wine may be possessed or consumed. Spirituous liquor (including mixed drinks) is NOT permitted.<u>Underline</u>
4.3.1 Use headings and sub-headings that let the reader know the content of each section. Policies can be either simple or complex, depending upon the substantive matters that are addressed. The following section headings should be included in a proposed policy:


# Introduction
Kegs and other common containers are not allowed at any time.
# Scope
# Definitions
# Policy and Procedure Statements
# Additional References
# Authority
# Contact Information
# Effective Date
# Revision Dates


4.3.2 Some headings may not be applicable, depending upon the subject matter and scope of the policy.  If so, the section heading should be set out in the policy and annotated as "Not applicable" or "N/A", or "None."  Further explanation of the substance of each section is set forth below, unless the heading is self-explanatory.  
Glass containers are not allowed.


==== Introduction ====
Drinking games, including, but not limited to, beer pong, and the use of devices intended to accelerate the consumption of alcohol, including, but not limited to, funnels or beer bongs, are prohibited.
Describes the relevant background and reasons for the policy, and a brief statement about what the policy will address. Some examples of the purpose or reason for a policy are the following:
#To comply, or explain how to comply, with State or federal law or University of North Carolina (΄UNC‘) policy;<br>
#To ensure accountability and/or explain or describe expected behavior; and<br>
#To recognize and/or balance the legitimate interests/expectations of various university administrative/academic units or constituencies;


==== Scope ====

Addresses who or what is covered by the policy. For example, who must observe the policy and follow its procedure; who must understand the policy to do their jobs. Most policies have a primary audience and a secondary audience. The policy should focus directly on the primary audience in writing the policy. If there are two primary audiences, the policy should be clear in each section which audience is being addressed.  Any locations, persons, or organizations that are excluded or excepted from application of the policy or any funding sources or job classifications that are excluded from the policy should be identified. This provision may also include information about special circumstances that affect only a few people or circumstances that occur infrequently.

Policies create administrative structures, set priorities, assign responsibility, delegate authority, establish accountability, and define reporting requirements.  Policy statements contain substantive provisions that create rights, privileges or duties. They essentially state what conduct and activities are prescribed or prohibited, and why.  Depending upon the complexity of the subject matter, this may be a simple paragraph or may contain various numbered sections with subtitles. Procedures identify the ΄who, how, when, and where‘ of university operations.
