The Academic Affairs Manual provides how-to guidelines for the core practices and
procedures that govern the activities and delineate the purview of the Amarillo College
Academic Affairs Division. These practices and procedures are cross-referenced to the
applicable local and external policies to which the College adheres. The goals of the
manual are (A) to describe the core practices and procedures and (B) articulate the
process by which these practices and procedures are implemented, in accordance with
the applicable local and external policies.
All administrative regulations, including manuals and handbooks, shall be kept up to
date and shall be made accessible to staff and the public as required by the Open
Records Act. However, only the Board of Regents Policy Manual (BOR) contains the
official policies of Amarillo College. No information in any other publication, handbook,
manual, or other source of any kind, shall supersede any policies contained in the BOR,
unless the Board of Regents takes official action (BOR BBA and BBE).
