The UW’s Rules Coordination Office oversees the University’s rule making process, including the review, creation, amendment, and repeal of the UW’s Washington Administrative Code rules (Title 478 WAC). In carrying out this function the office works with the UW unit promulgating the rule, the Attorney General’s Office, and the Office of the Board of Regents for final adoption. In addition, the office maintains the UW rule-making docket; plans and facilitates public hearings; and produces the required legal notices for the press.

The Rules Coordination Office also coordinates policy codification, reviews and approvals, and publishes the UW University Handbook policies and Administrative Policy Statements, as well as publishing the Board of Regent’s governance materials, Presidential executive orders, and the Faculty Code. The office assists in the development, review, and maintenance of these orders and policies for the University, and serves as a consultant to the University’s administration and departments for documentation of University-wide policies and rules.

The Rules Coordination Office is also responsible for producing and maintaining the University’s websites for University policies, orders, and rules.
