This website presents all officially approved Winona State University (WSU) policies, procedures, and regulations. This site also presents current drafts of new/revised policies and procedures, allowing WSU stakeholders an opportunity to review them and provide feedback to the administration before the President makes a final decision to approve or reject them.
All WSU stakeholders have an opportunity to provide feedback on any policy recommendation proposed by the administration. Current recommendations from the All-University Policy Committee and approved by Cabinet are listed on the “WSU Stakeholder Review” webpage, including rationales for revision and suggested feedback deadlines. If this is the only “policy” listed on that page, there are no current recommendations awaiting stakeholder review.
The WSU All-University Policy Committee (UPC) vets all proposed policy and procedure drafts it has received from responsible officers of the administration. The UPC reviews the drafts to ensure they are in the proper format and suggests stakeholder feedback deadlines. Current drafts at this step are listed on the “UPC Initial Review” webpage, including rationales for revision. If this is the only “policy” listed on that page, there are no current recommendations awaiting UPC initial review.
This procedure establishes guidelines and procedures used to review, award, and administer requests for Student Research and Creative Presentations Travel Support Grants at Winona State University (WSU).
Proposed Amendments (November 2026)
Revises the application and approval timeline to require applications at least 45 days before the anticipated travel date while allowing students to apply before receiving formal confirmation that their presentation has been accepted. Establishes a conditional approval process, with final approval issued upon documentation of presentation acceptance. The change provides additional time for committee review and account creation prior to travel. Also updates references to the office name from Grants & Sponsored Projects to Grants & Research Integrity.
