Marin Community College District Board Policies and Administrative Procedures

Please be advised that all of the District’s Board Policies and Administrative Procedures are currently being updated. As current policies are revised and new policies are written, they will be approved by the Board and posted on the website. Administrative Procedures will go to the Board as Information Items and will be posted after Board review. College of Marin Policies and Procedures are being renumbered to conform with the Community College League of California (CCLC) numbering system. Policies and Procedures will reference the former College of Marin policy or procedure number.

See the Board Policy/Administrative Procedure Revision Project for more information on the review process.

Board Policy
Board policy is the voice of the Board of Trustees and defines the general goals and acceptable practices for the operation of the District. It implements federal and state laws and regulations. The Board, through policy, delegates authority to and through the Superintendent/President to administer the District. The Superintendent/President and District employees are responsible to reasonably interpret Board policy as well as other relevant laws and regulations that govern the District.

Administrative Procedure
Administrative procedures implement Board policy, laws, and regulations. They address how the general goals of the District are achieved and define operations of the District. They include details of policy implementation, responsibility, accountability, and standards of practice. Although procedures may be developed by the Superintendent/President, managers, faculty, and staff members, it is the administrators/managers who are held responsible for upholding the specific information delineated in the procedures. Procedures do not require Board action.
