Policies are adopted by the [[Board|Board of Directors]] by motion or resolution, and thus are all included in the [[Minutes]]. What follows is a summary of those policies adopted between June 2011 and May 2015, inclusive.
==Administration==
1303B: [[Stationery]] — Standard stationery has been designed for each office; all are directed to apply to HQ for copies (electronic or paper) as needed. (March 2013, item XI)
==Chivalry==
1311B: [[Postnominals]] — The use of postnominals in most situations is limited to a maximum of three, one of which shall be the most senior Society postnominal (if held). Postnominals used will normally be the most senior for each category of honors — Chivalric, Academic, Ecclesiastical, Society, and Military. Members may, upon request, have any combination of postnominals used, not exceeding a total of three, provided that one Society honor is included (if held). (November 2012, item XII)
==Heraldry==
1204B: [[Arms Registration Heraldry Committee|Arms Registration]] — Policy for such is adopted, text not immediately available. (April 2012, item XVII)
1305A: [[Arms Registration Heraldry Committee|Arms Registration]] — Petitioners for Registration of Arms may optionally list their heirs. (May 2013, item VII.A)
1305B: [[Arms Registration Heraldry Committee|Arms Registration]] — Petitioners for Registration of Arms may optionally denote their preferred system of inheritance. If no preference for a system of inheritance is declared, the default position is that all heirs inherit the undifferenced arms. A registrant may change the system of inheritance at a later time. (May 2013, item VII.B)
1305C: [[Arms Registration Heraldry Committee|Arms Registration]] — It is the responsibility of Arms Registrant to inform the Society that there are additional heirs. (May 2013, item VII.C)
1309B: [[Arms Registration Heraldry Committee|Arms Registration]] — Insignia and chiefs of the [[Order of the Augustan Eagle]] and [[Noble Company of the Rose]] may not be included in registrations. (September 2013, item XV)
1306: [[Online Armorial]] — Only currently recognized postnominals may be included in the Online Armorial. (June 2013, item X)
==Nobility==
1312B: [[Recognition of Honors]] — As a number of Dynastic Order disputes are based on complex situations, both legally and societally, with experts taking opposing views on them, it is the Augustan Society’s policy to avoid appearing in any way to assume any authority to adjudicate these matters. While our positions are always based on thorough examination of solid evidence, we also deem academic reserve to be an important reflection of our espoused scholarly approach. The Augustan Society, in this regard, stands ready to recognize honors granted by pretenders with historically, genealogically, and legally credible claims to being the ''fons honorum'' or Grandmaster of a Dynastic Order. (December 2013, item XVIII)
==Communications==
1505: Each [[Committee Chairmen|Committee Chairman, Dean, and Coordinator]] is required to submit a report on his Committee of 100 to 500 words to the Editor of ''[[Augustæum]]'' for publication at least once per year. (May 2015, item XXVI)
