The Administrative Toolkit on the Academic Resources website provides easy access to various tools and resources in different administrative areas. The toolkit assists administrators with various duties, including academic, financial, and compliance-related tasks. The toolkit includes, but is not limited to, the areas listed below:
The University Policy Office, in collaboration with policy owners, develops, oversees, and maintains the University’s policies. Only the university has policies; colleges and departments have guidelines and procedures, not policies. The contact person identified that each policy’s description page should be the first contact point for questions. UNT’s official policies are intended to provide general information but may not always provide detailed information on required procedures, which vary across university units and over time. Note that Chapter 6 of the Policy Manual covers Academic Affairs, which is likely to contain most policies relevant to your role as department chair.
Risk Management Services provides proactive support to many areas critical to the University's strategic, operational, and financial foundations. Emergency Preparedness and Insurance Management is responsible for implementing and carrying out programs in support of UNT Risk Management’s mission. Please review the Faculty Emergency Readiness training from the UNT Police Department and Emergency Management that addresses active shooters, campus carry, medical emergencies, weather-related emergencies, and other resources useful in your job as department chair. Each year, chairs should schedule a session for their department's active shooter and emergency management training.

The CARE Team is a collaborative interdisciplinary committee of university officials that meet regularly to discuss students, faculty, and staff exhibiting behaviors indicative of high risk. The mission of the CARE Team is to assist in protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the students and members of the UNT community, support student success, and provide a comprehensive response to individuals whose behavior is disruptive to themselves or the environment. The CARE Team plays a secondary role to all urgent circumstances and should be contacted only after initial notifications are made. To contact the CARE Team directly, you can also email any questions.
