Only individuals issued a formal delegation of authority to sign contracts can sign written contracts for goods and services. This includes travel and entertainment contracts (food, catering, hotels, and other event-related services). Click here for a list of those with delegation for the campus. Submit your contract through ServiceNow on a Contract Request Form, or better yet, ask your vendor if they will accept payment or a purchase order without requiring a signature!
Contracts issued on behalf of the Regents are only valid if signed by a delegated official of the state. If you sign a contract for the University, you are taking on personal risk.
