A contract is needed whenever you are planning to enter into an agreement for a professional service and you are going to provide a monetary compensation for that service. Please contact the office of Student Life if you believe your event will require a contract
Contracts will need 4 weeks prior to an event to complete if you are not using an Ariba Vendor
RSOs are not expected to know which vendors are in Ariba and which are not. It’s best practice to assume if you need a professional service, to contact the Office of Student Life for help submitting a contract
Professional Services could include, but are not limited too
DJs
Speakers
Entertainers
If you are planning to solicit a Faculty or Staff Member for a Professional Service, they will instead need an Overload Extra Duties form completed in Docusign. Please contact the Office of Student Life first so that we can help facilitate this process and make sure the correct documentation.
Facility/External Use Agreement
Event Requests from RSOs must have prior approval from the VCFA when coordinating an event that will:
Bring external groups on campus for large scale events
Require use of multiple facilities, Conference rooms or classrooms
Take place during university holidays
Occur outside normal building operating hours
In most cases, a Certificate of insurance will need to be provided by the entity using PNW space
Tabling for external groups should be vetted with the VCFA Executive Assistant
Some examples of external Groups (NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST)
Blood Drives
Local Churches
League of Women Voters
If you are planning to work with a group that is external to PNW, please email studentlife@pnw.edu so that we can help facilitate he process with you and the VCFA executive assistant.
