In order for some cross links in the manuals to function properly, you must download the Forms and Policies. All manuals must be downloaded into the same folder.

*Disclaimer: Note that several manuals are updated every six months, so the user is responsible for obtaining the most recent version. Some manuals have interim updates that will be added as they become approved. ITD will make every effort to keep this web page as current as possible.
*New: An update column has been added to the Table of References. All manuals will show latest department wide updates and singular manuals will show if they have received interim updates between the major releases.
