The Administrative Memorandum Series (AMS) was created in 1995 by President Gordon H. Lamb. These documents are official University policy unless they have been updated to reflect current federal and state regulations and University procedures and guidelines.
The following table provides links to documents in the AMS, and where they have been revised, the University policy name. Where no University policy update is provided, the AMS document remains in effect and reflects current Northeastern policy. Please use the menu on the left to find the University policies listed in the right hand column.
