Contracts can be oral or written instruments that illustrate legal duties and/or rights. As such, student organizations should be aware of the gravity of a contract, should act with care, and should always get a contract in writing.
No student may sign a contract on behalf of the University.
- SSOs may ask their sponsoring unit to sign a contract (the unit should follow its standard process for contract vetting and authorization).
- VSOs must sign contracts on their own behalf and cannot bind the University.
- If your organization has questions about contracts please contact [email protected].
Student organizations commonly encounter contracts when booking events in either campus or non-campus venues. This section will address contracting for these venues.
