Contracts

Board of Regents' policy mandates that the Office of the General Counsel (OGC) review and approve contracts to which the University of Minnesota is a party. Since OGC cannot review every contract individually, OGC has pre-approved Standard Contracts to be used for routine contractual transactions. Contractual transactions entered into using these Standard Contracts do not require additional OGC review and approval.

Standard Contracts can be found on-line in the University's Standard Contracts Library.

Please note: Contractual transactions for which Standard Contracts are not appropriate must have OGC approval before the University official authorized to sign the contract may sign it. OGC will prepare Unique Contracts for these situations. Unique Contracts may be prepared using substantially modified Standard Contracts, OGC-approved contract language proposed by another party, or contract language developed through negotiation.
