Why are policies needed?
At such a large institution we need a number of policies and procedures to keep everything running smoothly. Here you will find a list of the policies and procedures that are most relevant to student organizations. They cover a range of topics from club recognition rules, the YU Connect system, holding events, booking space, postering, and much more.
