MBZUAI Policy Framework
1. Scope
This framework applies to all Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence policies,
procedures, and associated instruments.
2. Overview
This framework describes the requirements and principles governing policy documents and their
implementation at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) to ensure
appropriate content, governance, and consistency. MBZUAI recognizes that policies serve as the
promoter of the institutional mission, operational efficiencies, effectiveness, and excellence. This policy
framework addresses MBZUAI commitment to ensuring that all policies shall be developed, approved,
and issued in a consistent manner in compliance with the university’s mission.
3. Policy Hierarchy
3.1. Policy Hierarchy: All MBZUAI policy documents are part of a hierarchy that governs university
activities. National and Emirate rules and legislation is at the hierarchy’s highest level, which takes
precedence over policy.
Figure 1: MBZUAI Policy Framework
3.2. Policies are university-wide instruments governing all academic, administrative, and operational
functions of the University. They must comply with all relevant National and Emirate legislation
and are approved by the appropriate delegated authority.
3.3. Procedures, guidelines, manuals and handbooks are instructional documents that set out
UAE Visions and Missions

processes and information when implementing policies. They must be consistent with the
policies that take precedence over them. They are endorsed by the relevant accountable policy
owner and approved by the appropriate delegated authority as per the current approved
delegation of authority (DoA).
3.4. Document Types and Application:
Document Scope Description
UAE Rules &
Regulations Nation-wide

policy’s development, dissemination, implementation, maintenance, and review. The policy
owner is usually the head of the department. When a need for a new and/or amendment policy
is identified, the department, and/or staff shall submit a policy proposal (Policies and Procedure
SharePoint) to the MBZUAI Institutional Effectiveness & Quality Assurance Department (IEQA).
6.2. A template is available to assist staff with policy and procedure development in word format
(Appendix A – Policy Template) on the MBZUAI intranet.
6.3. A policy should include features, characteristics, statements, and structure outlined in the
MBZUAI policy framework and associated guidelines.
6.4. Policy development, approval, and implementation stages are as follows:

7. Policy Review Process
7.1. All policies and procedures should be reviewed every 2 years. Policies may be reviewed and may not
necessarily require an amendment and/or update. In this case, revision justification shall be classified
as review for compliance.
7.2. In some instances, the review may be required earlier if there is a legislative or regulatory
requirement for a specific change from external stakeholders.
7.3. Minor changes can undergo an update without the DoA approval process. In all circumstances a
circular shall be made to the MBZUAI for any updates.
7.4. An annual policy compliance check is the policy owner’s responsibility. Compliance will be assessed
against criteria including, but not limited to, alignment with any legislation, relevance and
conformance with the policy framework, alignment with other university policy instruments, etc.
7.5. IEQA is responsible for ensuring the policy owner is advised of the timeframe when a policy is due for
revision annually.
8. Policy and Procedure Guidelines
1. Objective
The purpose of these guidelines is to define a process for the effective and consistent development,
review, publication, approval, and administration of university policies & procedures. These guidelines
have been designed according to good international practices to contribute positively to the development
process of policies and ensure robust consultation.
Needs analysis Identify the need for the development of a new policy / procedure or review of an
existing policy / procedure
Assign policy
author/approver or policy
committee
Management will determine and nominate an author/committee for the
policy
Draft a document
A policy should include features, characteristics, statements, and structure as
outlined in the MBZUAI policy framework and associated guidelines.
Benchmark Policies should be benchmarked against good practice. The below Table is
MBZUAI policies benchmark with local and international universities.
Consultation with
stakeholders
Stakeholders must be consulted and, if any revision is required, the policy must be
updated and returned for final review.
Policy approval To be approved by the appropriate delegated authority, a policy must meet the
identified need and comply with the requirements of the framework and guidelines.
Communication &
Implementation
The policy owner ensures that the new or revised policy is communicated to
stakeholders and the policy is correctly implemented.

2. Scope
The guidelines apply to all members of the MBZUAI community who are involved with any aspect of policy
& procedures development and implementation.
3. Terminology and File Name Conventions
Set out below is a glossary of terms and standardized conventions that should be used when developing
policies and/or policy related documents. Using a MBZUAI’s standardized naming convention will facilitate
uniformity within and across policies, enable a consistent communication method, and mitigate against
confusion.
3.1. Terms
Abbreviation Document Type
POL Policy (and procedure)
PRO Procedure
GDL Guideline
MAN Manual
HDBK Handbook
3.2. File Coding Convention
The file coding convention of all policies or policy related documents will include the following in the below order:
1. The file name: e.g. PolicyFramework, StaffManual, StudentHandbook
2. The abbreviation of the department/ division. For example, Academic Affairs = AA (see abbreviations)
3. The abbreviation for the type of document. The most common abbreviations are policy (POL), guideline
(GDL), manual (MAN) and handbook (HDBK)
4. A version number in the format Vnn.nn (e.g. V01.00)
Formal ratified documents e.g. policies, manuals, guidelines, catalogs, handbooks etc.

3.3. Administrative Policy Version Numbering
This detail will be at the end of the document. The aim of creating administrative policy numbering for each
department/unit is to:
• Identify the policy.
• Communicate the version number indicating major/minor amendments.
• Communicate the draft or final status of the policy.
• Facilitate the organization of all policy documents.
Major Release
A major release is required in a policy if the change impacts the content of the policy. This is reflected by
increasing the whole version number, e.g., V01.00, V02.00, V03.00, etc.
Minor Release
A minor release is where small changes such as grammar, spelling, or minor corrections occur but do not impact the
content of the policy. This is reflected by increasing the decimal version number, e.g., V01.01, V01.02, V01.03,
etc.
Versioning Convention
Release Examples
A major change occurs when a document
undergoes approved substantive changes.
V01.00 (first approved version) V02.00 (second
approved version)
A minor change occurs when clarifications or
typographical modifications are made.
V01.01 (minor amendment of first approved version)
V02.01 (minor amendment of second approved version)
4. Policy and Procedure Development
The policy template must be used for all policies to ensure that all required policy elements are present
and set out in a consistent format. All required items must be included in a policy without making any
changes in the structure or order unless an exception is granted. The policy and procedure template
(Appendix A) is available on the MBZUAI staff intranet. MBZUAI shall adapt a standardized policy format
to guarantee uniformity and consistency. Therefore, MBZUAI policies, with procedures when applicable,
shall be written according to the following format upon implementation of this framework:
1. Cover page: Should have the MBZUAI logo, followed by the document name, with reference number
and date of release in the form of month and year e.g. February 2024.
2. Table of Contents: All headings and sub-headings should be hyperlinked to page numbers.
3. Policy statement and purpose: (mandatory element) is a statement that describes the main purpose
of the policy.
4. Scope: (mandatory element) is a statement that identifies all parties bound by the policy.
5. Policy: (mandatory element) a set of general rules and management directions that labels the policy
topics and may comprise of duties and responsibilities assigned to designated department or staff as
needed; and if applicable explicit authority to impose disciplinary actions and penalties, or other
remedies when noncompliance with the policy takes place.
6. Procedure: (if applicable) Procedure means a group of processes typically done in a standard order to
achieve an objective/task.

a. Version Number
b. Role Responsible (Job title)
c. Comments (summary description of the changes)
d. Date of change YYYYMMDD (the approval date)
10. Approval list: (mandatory element) this list is needed for initial approvals in addition to all subsequent
updates. The approval list shall follow the Delegation of Authority (DoA) Matrix which include dates
of each of the sequence steps: (1) policy owner, (2) IEQA review, (3) initiators, (4) endorsers and (5)
approvers. The responsible role (job title, committee, etc.) for each sequence step shall be included.
To summarize, the policy, and if applicable the procedure, should include the items below:
1. Cover Page
2. Table of Contents
3. Policy Statement
4. Scope
5. Policy
6. Definitions
7. Reference(s) and Related Document(s)
8. Document Control Information
9. Approval List
4.1. Policy Statement(s)
This is an introductory statement that should give an overview of the policy, it’s purpose and how it is situated
within the context of MBZUAI. In addition, it should list the objectives of the policy, and if appropriate; list the aims
or intended outcomes of the policy.
4.2. Scope
The scope is a statement that identifies all parties bound to the policy or who will be affected by the policy:
• Who is the primary audience? (Who needs to follow the policy?)
• In what situation(s) does this policy not apply?
• Are there any significant conditions or restrictions?
4.3. Policy

Below are points to consider in the policy section:
• Be concise, readable, easily applied and interpreted, and expressed using plain English.
• Use strong action words (will, must, are responsible for, etc.). Do not use “shall” in a policy statement.
• Create transparency; and
• Reduce ambiguity.
4.4. Procedure(s)
Procedure is a group of processes/steps typically taken in order to achieve an objective/task. Procedures
are marked with the same policy number with an alphabetical order subsequent to the policy number.
Below are points to consider in the procedure section:
• Describe how the procedure will achieve policy implementation
• What are your objectives for this procedure?
• What does the procedure aim to do?
• Methods are developed in coordination with all stakeholders
• Do not include information that may be outdated (e.g., names)
• Include job roles, committees, departments, etc. for each procedure
• If you use an acronym, identify it the first time you use it
• Include step-by-step instructions
• Not too technical, brief enough to be understood by a new user
The procedure may be divided into different sections or procedure areas to delineate the various
aspects of the overall procedure.
4.5. Definitions
The table of definitions follows the approval list. A table providing definitions of terms in the policy will
ensure all users understand the terminology and can use it consistently. Terms and definitions should be
reviewed and updated as appropriate. All terms and definitions should be given in simple language
understandable by any reader. If an abbreviation is utilized throughout the document, then this may be added to
this section.
A simple example is given below:
Terminology Definition
