About Academic Policies
Historically, the Campus Administrative Manual (CAM) contained policies that were administrative or academic. When CAM was revised to Campus Administrative Policy (CAP), a decision was made to separate the administrative from the academic. CAP would ideally contain policies that were truly administrative. Academic policies deriving from Title 5, CSU executive orders or coded memos, and Academic Senate resolutions would reside here on the Academic Programs and Planning website.

For convenience’s sake, academic policies that still exist in CAP are linked directly from this page to the appropriate section within the CAP.
