Faculty Policy Navigator
One place to search school and university policy — the SSW Faculty Handbook, the U-M Faculty Handbook, and the complete Standard Practice Guide — with a citation behind every answer.
- 01Ask a question in plain languageAnswers are built only from the retrieved policy text and name the exact section or SPG number they rely on. When the policy doesn’t answer, the Navigator says so instead of guessing.
- 02Browse all three policy corpora470 policies, filterable by source, with the official document one click away.
- 03Read the evaluation, and help improve itHow the system was tested is published in full — including where it falls short. Signed-in faculty can flag bad answers and review proposed handbook corrections.
Any umich.edu account works — there is no separate roster or request process. There is no public access to this site.
Questions you ask are recorded with your U-M identity and used to evaluate and improve answer quality. Policy text is reproduced from official sources; where this tool and an official document disagree, the official document governs.
