Individuals must follow University policies with regard to entering into contracts with entities or individuals outside of the University. Contracts generally require input and legal review by the University of Utah Office of General Counsel. Contracts must be signed by an authorized representative of the University with the authority to bind the organization-a vice president or a person to whom a vice president has delegated signature authority. If you are unsure of whether you have authority to enter into a contract on behalf of the University, you must check with the University Vice President with authority over your area.
