Policies and Procedures

The IIT Policies and Procedures Handbook is a guide for the operation of the business and financial matters of IIT. Neither academic nor employment matters are addressed in the manual. These matters are addressed in the manual on Human Resources Policies and Procedures, the Faculty Handbook, and the Student Handbook. This manual is not intended to cover specific operating policies within a department. Each department is encouraged to maintain an operation guide to address interdepartmental procedures. In the event of a conflict between IIT policies appearing in this manual and individual department policies, this manual shall govern.
