"agree with" or "agree to"?

Hello, everyone.
My name is Yasu.
Could you answer this question?

"I agree with policies that bar students from working off campus."
Is this sentence correct?
I feel this sentence should not be used "with" but be used "to"; for example
"I agree to (the) policies that bar students from working off campus.".

The basic difference is that if you "agree with something/somenone", it means you share the same opinion as someone or you think something is a good or valid statement/concept/idea. When you "agree to something", it means you accept or approve of it: I agree with you on this subject. = I share your opinion on this subject.
