Signature Routing Process

Once a contract has been negotiated and the proposed standard terms have been accepted by the vendor, the signed contract or amendment is ready to be routed for approval and signature. 

A copy of the contract is routed with the Contracts Routing Form as follows: 

1. Requesting department
   1. Requestor
   2. Project Manager
   3. Chair or Director
2. Grants and Contracts (only if the contract is part of a grant proposal which has been previously approved)
   1. Grants and Contracts Coordinator
3. Contracts Office

Once the Contracts Routing Form is received in the Contracts Office, original contracts (in triplicate) are routed to the following offices: 

4. Chief Executive Officer
5. President, if applicable

Fully executed copies are ready for distribution to the following parties:

• Copy I. Requesting department
• Copy II. Vendor
• Copy III. Contracts Office files

This completes the contract routing process.
