Unclassified Personnel Guidelines - (UPGs)
The faculty and academic staff Unclassified Personnel Policies and Procedures found in Unclassified Personnel Guidelines (UPGs) 1-19 are based on resolutions of the Board of Regents (http://www.uwsa.edu/rpd/rpdindx1.htm), directives from UWS administration, UWS Unclassified Personnel Policies (http://www.uwsa.edu/hr/UPGs/UPG.htm), and experiences and ideas of UW-Extension faculty and academic staff. These policies address important personnel and other workplace matters that define a faculty and/or academic staff member's rights and obligations.
The official copies of these policies and guidelines are available in the secretary's office. If you need these policies in a different format due to a disability, contact Kate Wodyn, 608-262-6151, kate.wodyn@uwex.edu.
