Policies and Procedures

The fundamental policies and legal requirement of the district are expressed in the Lone Star College System Policy Manual. Policies are adopted by the Lone Star College System Board of Trustees, upon the recommendation of the Chancellor. Once adopted, policies bind each employee of the District.

Board policies related to this manual are in Lone Star College System Policy Manual, Sections A, C, D, E and F.

The district adopts procedures that are also binding district-wide, to establish uniform and consistent manners of carrying out the business of the College District. The procedures can also be found at the Lone Star College System Policy Manual with the corresponding policies for implementation.

The district also created handbooks to explain and communication policies and procedure and information about district standards, goals and expectations. Lone Star College System Handbooks do not replace or in any way alter Lone Star College System Board policies, the terms of the employment contract, or other legally binding requirements. It is important to remember that Board policies, laws and procedures do change from time to time and handbooks will not reflect these changes immediately.
