CONTRACTS
Shawnee State University enters into many agreements that cover a
wide range of topics, including construction, purchases of goods and
services, research agreements, software licenses and student
internship programs. This page is designed to assist University
employees who manage contracts on behalf of the university.
Questions regarding the
information on this page should be directed to the Office of General
Counsel, (740) 351-3046.
Signature Authority
Required
Contracts may only be signed by University employees or officials
who have authority, pursuant to University
policy
and
procedure,
5.27 Signature Authority for Contracts.
(Authorization
may vary, depending on the nature of the contract and dollar
amount.)
No
SSU employee may sign a contract or otherwise make any promise to a
vendor, consultant or other third party that could bind the
University without such authority.
Anyone who signs or enters into a contract without
appropriate authorization is subject to discipline and may be held
personally responsible for the contract.
Please note that authority to
sign a purchase order or approve a requisition is not the same as
authority to sign a contract.

Again, only employees with proper authorization may sign
template-based contracts.
