Welcome to the Extension Handbook
The Extension Handbook serves as the home for administrative policies and procedures in the Division of Extension. Please note that many policies affecting Extension employees are part of the larger UW-Madison institutional policies, UW System policies, and State Statutes.
The handbook is divided into sections for relevant audiences as well as by functions within Extension. Note that many documents relate to several groups, and can be found in multiple categories.
