Degree requirements and policies

The IUB Campus Policy Committee advises the Chancellor and is responsible for reviewing campus policies and procedures to ensure alignment with university policies, as well as reviewing proposals for new or revised campus policies or procedures. Community input is crucial to that process. This page provides a portal for sharing feedback on policies under review and further information on the Committee.

Policies Under Review

The Campus Policy Committee is currently reviewing the IU Bloomington policies listed below. After an initial review of each policy, the Committee will issue a proposal on whether to retain, revise, or retire the policy in question. Each proposal will be posted on this website for a ten-business-day comment period. We encourage all members of the university community to read and share feedback on the proposals by emailing provost@iu.edu. All feedback will be forwarded to the Committee and to the policy's Responsible Office for consideration.

Policies up for public comment will open on or around the 15th of each month.

The IU Bloomington Campus Policy Committee

The Campus Policy Committee for IU Bloomington (BL-CPC) was created in January 2026 pursuant to IU policy BOT-02, which requires the Chancellor to create a committee to review and approve campus policies on the Chancellor’s behalf. The Chancellor has entrusted that authority to the BL-CPC, which held its inaugural meeting in April 2026.

In keeping with BOT-02 and the Chancellor's charge to the committee, the BL-CPC will:

Review proposals to create, revise, or retire campus policies or procedures with the authority to approve those proposals;
Identify when IUB must create, revise, or retire campus policies to adhere to university policies;
Identify when IUB may create or revise campus policies to address situations unique to the Bloomington campus;
Outline distinct processes for how campus policies and procedures are created, revised, or retired, ensuring broad consultation of relevant units;
Determine which entities will be responsible for leading work on specific campus policies and procedures; and
Determine when units (e.g., the College, schools, departments, and other administrative units) need to create, revise, or retire unit-level policies and/or procedures to align with applicable university and campus policies.

The IUB Provost chairs the BL-CPC, which includes a broad representation of faculty, staff, and student members. Committee members for the 2026–27 year include:
