CONTRACTS

The University is a public entity and a Constitutional corporation, so there are legal and Board of Regents policy requirements for University contracts. To help you meet those requirements, follow these procedures.

  1. Use a contract from the Standard Contracts Library whenever possible. All non-standard contracts must have OGC approval. OGC has pre-approved the Standard Contracts. If you use those forms, no additional OGC review or approval is necessary. However, please see Item 3 below if additional approval is required.
