About Us Code, Bylaws & Policies
The AMS has our own unique policies and plans. We have Internal Policies and Operations Committee Policies, and also strategic plans – the AMS Equity Plan and the AMS Sustainability Plan.
These documents are specific to the AMS, which means that these are NOT UBC policies! You can read about UBC’s policies on their website.
The policies establish principles and rules for the AMS, along with procedures for implementing those principles.
