UTB/TSC
Handbook of Operating Procedures
(HOOP) Policies

In compliance with the Rules and Regulations of The University of Texas (UT) System Board of Regents, The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College (UTB/TSC) has prepared rules and regulations for the governance of the University in the form of the UTB/TSC Handbook of Operating Procedures (HOOP) Policies. These rules and regulations are subject to the approval of the UT System Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, and they should not conflict with any part of the UT System Board of Regents’ Rules and Regulations. If a conflict arises between any provision in the UTB/TSC HOOP Policies and any provision in the UT System Board of Regents’ Rules and Regulations, the provision in the UT System Board of Regents’ Rules and Regulations will take precedence.

Provisions within the UTB/TSC HOOP Policies are periodically modified by UTB/TSC. Any proposal to create or revise a provision in the UTB/TSC HOOP Policies must first be submitted through the appropriate council and/or administrative reviews, and receive approval from the UT System Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. The UTB/TSC Business Affairs Division records the appropriate review channel and division for each policy, and tracks the off-campus processing of the policies. Once policy modifications have been approved by all appropriate channels, a campus-wide email will be sent by the UTB/TSC Business Affairs Division to all faculty and staff, notifying them of the changes.

A copy of the UT System Board of Regents’ Rules and Regulations is available for review and/or copying in the following locations: offices of the deans and colleges, the vice presidents, the President, the University library, and online at http://www.utsystem.edu/bor/rules.htm/.
A copy of the UTB/TSC HOOP Policies is available online at http://www.utbtsc.edu/hoop/.
