Red Deer College policies articulate the College's statement of position and expectations of behaviour which apply to all members of the College community including, where appropriate, third party contractors, visitors, and volunteers.

Procedures outline step-by-step processes to be followed to operationalize policy and achieve a specified purpose or outcome.

All proposals to create, revise and rescind RDC policies require completion of a Policy Vetting Form which is reviewed by the Policy Specialist.

RDC's policies are distinct from those of the Board of Governors. To review the Board's policies, click here: Policies of the Board of Governors.
