The Academic Personnel Manual (APM) includes policies and procedures pertaining to the employment relationship between an academic appointee and the University of California. For academic appointees covered by a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the APM applies only to the extent provided for in the MOU.

Academic Personnel Policies are issued by the President of the University of California. These policies are maintained in the APM by the Department of Academic Advancement in the Office of the Provost and Senior Vice President-Academic Affairs. The Department of Academic Advancement is also responsible for maintaining the online version of the APM and any subsequent changes. The APM is available on the Web in html and pdf format at:

The Department of Academic Advancement and the Academic Personnel Office at each University of California campus maintain official copies of the APM. The University reserves the right to amend, modify, or rescind these policies at any time and these policies supersede all previously issued University academic personnel policies maintained in the APM.

If you have questions about the maintenance of the APM, contact Doris Lopez at (510) 987-9450 or doris.lopez@ucop.edu. If you are located at a University of California campus and have specific academic personnel policy questions, contact your local campus Academic Personnel Office.
