Resources for Administrators
This page is for administrators and their assistants. Below are resources that can be used during training and for the MOU/MOA process.
MOU/MOA Checklist
If you are creating the agreement, use the checklist to ensure you cover all the key elements. If you are receiving an agreement from an outside entity, the checklist can be used to identify potential issues prior to signing.
Types of MOUs and MOAs
This is a list of common agreements and understandings the University engages in. Check here if you are unsure of what type of agreement you need. This is also a great place to start as it gives you an idea of which departments to involve during the process.

Routing Map for MOUs and MOAs
This routing map will be key in determining where in the process your MOU or MOA is. Before starting an agreement, always check with the appropriate Vice Chancellor's office to ensure there is not already a prior agreement in place.

Examples and Templates
These examples and templates provide an excellent resource to get you started. The templates contain language that is approved by Statewide General Counsel and use of the templates can save you time during legal review. Examples will be posted in Fall 2015 after this policy has been implemented for a number of months.
Academic units: Visit the Provost's website for current MOU/MOA templates.
