OPG is now the University Policy Manual
The Office Procedure Guide has a new name -- the University Policy Manual.
The name change reflects an intent to streamline the online document, which
traditionally has been a lengthy amalgam of university policies and
procedures. The new document gradually will be converted to a manual that
explains each policy (and the reason for it), then links to appropriate
procedures. The policy manual is at:
http://www.adp.iastate.edu/vpbf/prod/docs/upm/upm.htm.

Colleges must submit grant applications for foreign travel (that starts
