Historical Note

The University of Washington Rules Coordination Office was responsible for coordinating rules for the Washington Administrative Code (WAC), overseeing the Administrative Policy Statements website, and producing UW Reference Sets for numerous campus locations, including the UW Libraries, Visitors Information Center, and offices of deans, vice provosts, vice presidents, and other UW administrators. Reference Sets consist of the UW Washington Administrative Code rules, the University of Washington Handbook, and administrative policy statements.

The functions of the office originated in 1968 with the Operations Manual project, which was assigned to the Management Systems Dept. by the UW President's Office. The project was placed in 1970 under the direction of the Records Management Office, and in 1971 the responsibility for overseeing the Operations Manual as well as the Reference Station System moved to the newly formed Documents and Procedures Office. Following a merger with Forms Management in 1984, the title was changed to Forms and Procedures Office on May 24, 1985. The Forms and Procedures Office was reorganized in July 1990, at which time the Reference Stations Management Office was formed, with the Forms Management Office operating as a separate unit. About the same time, the Rules Coordination Office was formed in response to the Administrative Procedures Act of 1989. The Rules Coordination Office's functions were incorporated into the Reference Stations Management Office in August 1993, and in January 1996 the Reference Stations Management Office became the Administrative Procedures Office. On January 1, 2004, oversight of the unit was moved from University Relations to the Vice Provost and the office's name was changed to Rules Coordination Office. Oversight of the Rules Coordination Office moved to again to the President's Office in March of 2006.
