Contract Checklist

This checklist applies to contracts for the purchase of goods or services and for agreements under which goods or services (but not real estate) are donated to UNC Greensboro. Parts of the checklist also apply to agreements under which UNC Greensboro provides goods or services to another party, and to non-disclosure/confidentiality agreements.  It has not been designed to apply to sponsored program agreements, construction and design services contracts, real property transactions, or employment contracts (other than independent contractors).

Contract Advisory

Allows individuals with signature authority to assume the risk of accepting contract provisions that are normally unacceptable to UNC Greensboro, with the understanding that any resulting damages or costs would be paid from the department’s budget.
