Instructions
This form must be used and accompany all written agreements between the College and any third party (e.g. contracts, agreements, memoranda of understanding, commitment letters, or other written instruments) that may legally obligate the College to pay money, take action, or refrain from taking action.
Please make every effort to submit a form at least two (2) weeks prior to the date the completed legal review by the Office of General Counsel is needed.
All written agreements of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) or more must be signed by MATC's Vice President of Finance.
All contracts must be in the name of MATC and not in the name of the individual department or employee(s).
The person initiating the request for contract approval should complete the form to the best of his/her ability. The applicable Dean, Vice President, or respective designee must sign the Approval Form before submission to the Office of General Counsel.
The VP of Finance's office will obtain vendor signatures after approval of the contract by the Office of General Counsel. Once all signatures are obtained, Finance will return the fully executed contract of the initiator, as well as maintain a file copy in the indicated location (Ionwave software). The maintenance of the file copy is essential, in case of later questions of disputes.
The Office of General Counsel is available to assist with any questions regarding this form. Contact the Office of General Counsel at: generalcounsel@matc.edu.
