The Louisiana Tech University Policies and Procedures Manual is maintained by the Office of Internal Audit.



The following is general information concerning the Manual of Policies and Procedures of Louisiana Tech University. The policies and procedures described here are not intended to be and should not be interpreted as a contract between the University and any employee. This information does not constitute a legal document nor does it constitute an employment contract. It does not confer any legal rights nor does it create any contractual obligations, expressed or implied.

Policies are updated on a regular basis and the University reserves the right to change, modify, or supersede any of these policies and procedures with or without notice at any time. The University is committed to keeping the Manual of Policies and Procedures up-to-date. However, because of changing policies, members of the University should consult the online Manual themselves to verify what is current. Although every effort is made to keep the hardcopy versions (available in offices of the vice presidents, academic deans, internal audit, and in the documents section of the library) of the Manual of Policies and Procedures current, the online version is to be considered the most current and complete version.

The University takes due care to ensure that policies, when issued, are in compliance with then applicable controlling laws, rules, and regulations. However, it is recognized that changes in such laws, rules, and regulations may result in all or a portion of a policy becoming incorrect until necessary revision is made. Please be advised that, in such cases, those portions of policies that are contrary to or in conflict with any controlling law, rule, or regulation are invalid. To the extent that the remainder of a policy is unaffected by a change in controlling laws, rules, or regulations, that remaining portion of the policy will remain valid and in effect. The Manual of Policies and Procedures does not form a part of any employee's contract or appointment with the University.
