FACULTY HANDBOOK 2009-2010





PREFACE

This Faculty Handbook has been prepared for the faculty of The
University of North Carolina at Pembroke and has been designed to provide
faculty members with a ready Reference to established policies and
procedures at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke. Additionally,
the University Catalog is also a very valuable resource regarding academic
programs, policies, procedures, regulations, and other important
information about the University. Suggestions for additions or revisions
are encouraged and should be made directly to the Office for Academic
Affairs.

It is hoped that each faculty member will become familiar with the
contents of this Handbook and the University Catalog immediately. All
members of the University family should use the Handbook and Catalog for
reference whenever occasion demands. The UNC Board of Governors policies
supersede the Handbook in the possible case of conflict. Also, The Code of
the University of North Carolina is available via the internet at
http://www.northcarolina.edu/content.php/legal/policymanual/contents.htm.

The University reserves the right to make any necessary changes in the
University Calendar or in any other section of this Handbook.
