Contracts

Any document that commits the University to pay or provide goods or services to another party is a contract. This includes formal contracts, but also may include letters, Memorandums of Understanding, or a “click-through” on a website.

You can find sample agreements and templates for the most commonly used contracts on our Forms & Templates page.

Any contract or agreement that must be submitted for review by our office should be emailed to vpgc@iu.edu, although affiliation agreement review requests should be submitted using the Affiliation Agreements form.

 

Signature Authority for Contracts

According to University policy, only the Treasurer of the University or that person’s designee has the authority to sign contracts on behalf of the University.

If you do not have a written delegation of authority from the Treasurer to sign contracts, you must either obtain such a delegation prior to signing the contract or send the contract to vpgc@iu.edu for our office to review before obtaining the Treasurer’s signature.
