Guidelines for Using

Contracts for Professional, Personal, Consulting or Social Services (Form 3311/001)

Connected with Professional Development Presenter Grants

1.  In accordance with the College’s Professional Development Presenter Grants policy, the Committee on Professional Development determines which proposals will be funded for the following academic year and submits its recommendations to the Vice Chancellor for Learning and Student Development.

2.  The amount for the Contract for Professional, Personal, Consulting or Social Services  

(Form 3311/001) is approved by the Vice Chancellor for Learning and Student Development. The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Learning and Student Development mails an award letter with the presenter’s contract to the applicant, with copies to the department head/supervisor, division dean (as applicable), campus provost/vice chancellor (as appropriate) and the Chair of the Professional Development Committee. It is the applicant’s responsibility to secure the signature of the presenter on the contract. Generally, presenter contracts are awarded as a one-time payment for the total cost of the presentation. Therefore, the contractor should consider all expenses (such as travel and miscellaneous expenses) before agreeing to the amount of the contract.

3.  The signed contract is returned to the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Learning and Student Development.

4.  The sponsoring unit or division is responsible for arranging the event and completing function request forms (if appropriate) after discussion of where and when the event is to be presented with the Chair of the Professional Development Committee or designee.

5.  Invoices for payment of professional services must be submitted to the College by the contractor and approved by the Professional Development Committee Chair, or designee, and the Vice Chancellor for Learning and Student Development. In accordance with the College’s Contracts for Professional, Personal, Consulting or Social Services policy, contractors are paid after the completion of the service and generally within thirty (30) days of the submission of the invoice. Exceptions to the above timeline may be made only on request of the contractor and provided that the contractor’s invoice is signed by the contractor and has the signatures required by the College. Ordinarily it is very difficult to meet requests for early payment, since all signatures and the presentation itself must have been completed before the contractor can be paid.
