College without equal ignoring a University procedure (9)
I believe the answer is:
technique
'procedure' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Practical procedure' mean 'technique' so perhaps 'procedure' could also mean 'technique')
'college without equal ignoring a university' is the wordplay.
'college' becomes 'tech' (technical college).
'without equal' becomes 'unique' (something unique has no equal).
'ignoring' suggests deleting specific letters.
'a university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation for university).
'unique' with 'u' taken away is 'nique'.
'tech'+'nique'='TECHNIQUE'
(Other definitions for technique that I've seen before include "way of proceeding" , "Method of carrying out a task" , "Way of doing something" , "Working method for tin cheque" , "See 6" .)
