UWA Policy Library Info

At UWA, our policies recognise our diversity and are developed to be inclusive.  All policies in this library apply to the entire University Community, regardless of identity, including but not limited to people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, the LGBTIQA+ community, people living with disabilities and people of all genders.

The UWA Policy Library Guideline [Word] provides some basic info about the new UWA Policy Library.

The UWA Policy Library A to Z [Word] will help to you find the new location of a policy.

The UWA Policy Library Glossary [Word] lists the correct terms and their definitions.

Code of Conduct

Students and University Officials are responsible for their own behaviour and obliged to conduct themselves in keeping with the provisions of the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct.  You have to acknowledge that you've read and understood our Codes when you become a member of the University Community either as a Student or as a University Official.

In 2021, our Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct will be reviewed.  It was last updated in 2014 and while still current, some of the information need to be updated.  This version corrects this, particularly broken hyperlinks and incorrect position titles.  It also provides up to date contact information.
