Details to highlight include:

• Name of school or organization
• Name of primary contact (photo of their business card if possible)
• What the school or organization is looking for
• What was promised 
• What are our next steps
• Unique aspects of this relationship
• Anticipated Start

Responsible Offices and Signature Authority

Signature authority is delegated to the following responsible offices for execution of appropriate agreements.

*Not including agreements for Practicum students since the major issue with those agreements is risk rather than academic standards. “Academic activities” includes all other agreements related to credit-bearing courses and academic programs, as the Provost’s Office needs to make sure they meet accreditation standards and reports requirements.

Administrative Review

The following offices are designated and are responsible for review and/or approval of agreements in conjunction with the above-listed offices, as applicable. If you are unsure of the routing and review of your document, any responsible office can be contacted and will direct you to the appropriate office.

**Note: A signed agreement with appropriate notifications through SACSCOC Liaison is required prior to publication or advertisement.
