Contracts
Student Club and Organizations Contract Info
All contracts are routed through the Student Activities Office to be signed by a Student Affairs officer or staff member. Do not sign contracts yourself! We do not want you, your group, or your advisor to be held responsible for the terms of the contract. Question about the process? Please contact your club's Activities Liaison.
