At UHV, we follow three types of policies, each with a specific role in how things run across the UH System:
- Board Policies – Set by the Board of Regents, these are the top-level policies that take priority over everything else.
- System Administrative Memoranda (SAMs) – These are System-wide policies that help implement Board policies or address broader system concerns. They override individual university policies.
- University Policies – Each university in the UH System, including UHV, has its own set of policies specific to that campus.
