Board of Visitors Policies

The Commonwealth of Virginia grants authority to the Board of Visitors to establish rules and regulations for the University. Board of Visitors policies are reviewed and approved by the Board. These policies govern the Board or interaction with the Board; satisfy a requirement from a governmental entity for a policy that must be approved by the Board; ensure basic rights and obligations to constituencies within the University; govern the award of degrees, emeritus/emerita designation, recognition of related corporations, and naming; or are generated by the Board of Visitors or a member thereof.
