University Policies

Excellence with a Personal Touch

The University Policies webpage and the Academic Catalog serve as the principal policy documents for McNeese State University. Inquiries regarding the University Policies webpage and the Academic Catalog can be directed to Wesley LeJeune (wlejeune1@mcneese.edu) in the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness.

University of Louisiana (UL) System policies prohibit harassment, discrimination, and retaliation against individuals based upon any protected status, including their retirement status or age.

If you believe that you have identified information on the McNeese State University website that is out of compliance with UL System policies, please contact the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness.
