We’re excited to share some big news! After much planning and collaboration, on August 4th, we’re launching PolicyStat—a new, cloud-based platform that will house and maintain the Regents’ Policy Manual (RPM) and the University Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual (UAPPM).

Our current system has served us well, but it’s time for an upgrade—and PolicyStat brings powerful new features to support greater access, usability, and transparency.

What is PolicyStat?

PolicyStat is a user-friendly, cloud-based document management system that will serve as the new home for official university policies in both the RPM and UAPPM.

What Does PolicyStat Offer?

• Modern, intuitive search functionality
• ADA-compliant and mobile-responsive design
• Shareable links to full or partial policies
• Version control with redlines and archives
• Several date fields to distinguish approved revisions from technical edits
• Approval workflows and lifecycle tracking
• Single Sign-On (SSO) and anonymous access
• Reporting capabilities and analytics

What Is Changing?

• A newly redesigned Policy Office website with:
  • Access to the new PolicyStat portal
  • Training materials and user guides
• A cleaner, modern design that makes it easier to search for and within policies
• New RPM and UAPPM logos on each policy
• New fields showing last approval date vs. last revision date
• New URLs for all RPM and UAPPM policies

What Is Not Changing?

• Policy content – All current policies will be migrated exactly as they are
• The ability to access policies anytime, anywhere, by anyone

What Can I do to Prepare?

Even though existing URLs will automatically redirect to the new PolicyStat links, we encourage departments to update their policy references to ensure long-term accuracy and consistency.

1. Review your department websites and documents to identify links to RPM or UAPPM policies
2. Download the URL Crosswalk to map existing URLs to the new PolicyStat links
   • Access the Crosswalk Here
   • Also available under the Policy Resources tab on the Policy Office website
3. Publish your updated materials starting August 4th
4. Note: The crosswalk will remain online for one year to support gradual updates, but will not include new policies published after August 4th

Will Training Be Available?

Yes! Training materials, including quick reference guides and tutorials, will be available on the Policy Office website starting August 4th.
