Course Syllabi
Upload your 2026–2027 course syllabi using the button below.

To ensure compliance with university purchasing and HR policies, all services performed by independent contractors (ICs) or outside vendors must be approved before work begins.
Key Requirements
- Submit all required documentation at least 6 weeks before services are scheduled to begin.
- No work may begin until a Purchase Order (PO) has been issued.
- Instrument repairs should be coordinated through Nicholas, who manages repair services.
- Individuals who will have one-on-one interactions with students (such as guest artists providing private lessons) must complete a general background check.
Required Documentation
Submit the following in a single email or shared folder:
- Completed Vendor & Independent Contractor Pre-Service Information Form.
- Laura Stauffer will then provide you with a Supplier Information Form (SIF), if the vendor is new, has not been used within the past year, or has changed addresses.
- Vendor estimate (dated and on the vendor's letterhead) that includes:
- Name and contact information
- Current date and estimate number
- Date(s) of service
- Scope of work
- Hourly rate (if applicable)
- Total cost
- Artist Agreement (if applicable).
After Services Are Completed
Submit the vendor invoice, ensuring it matches the approved estimate and includes the same required information. Payment cannot be processed until the work has been verified as completed according to the approved scope.
Planning Ahead
Whenever possible, establish recurring contractors and vendors at the beginning of each semester or academic year. This helps ensure timely approvals and compliance with university policies. The only routine exception to the advance approval process is emergency last-minute ensemble substitute performers, though all required documentation must still be completed as soon as possible afterward.
