Policies & Procedures

Policies & Procedures (P&P) sets forth policies and procedures that apply broadly to MIT faculty, other academic staff, research staff, and non-academic staff.  Certain policies also apply to students, unpaid affiliates, and other members of the MIT community. P&P includes definitions of faculty and staff appointments, addresses research and other major areas of Institute activity, and states general standards of conduct. In the event of any discrepancy between the policies and an applicable union agreement, the union agreement will govern.

P&P is a living document and may be revised by the Institute from time to time. Community members are expected to be familiar with these policies and procedures.  A history of policy changes is available on the Policies and Procedures Update page.
