What is an Independent Contractor?

How are grant funded and non grant funded independent contracts different?

Who do I contact for support?

Policies and Resources

Typically, an independent contractor (IC) is an individual who provides professional, creative or technical services to the university for a fee. ICs generally offer their services to others, may work for more than one client at a time, can select their clients, provide their tools and materials, and set their own hours and place of work. The exception to this last would be a speaker, as they are often subject to an event or class time.

  • IF it is not grant funded, a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) will be assigned by Accounts Payable.

  • IF the payment is grant funded, an approval notification will be sent to attach to your requisition.
