Why use a The University of Findlay Contract & Rider?  

A UF contract/rider should be used for every event that involves outside persons performing or providing a service.  This is a legally binding document that is in place for the protection of your organization.   

It is UF policy that no outside contracts/riders be signed before a completed (signed) contract/rider has been submitted by the other party.  You must receive a signed copy of the UF contract/rider before you can sign it or any other contract/rider.  Student organization advisors are the only persons permitted to sign as the authorized sponsor, NOT student organization officers, members, etc.   

All monetary payments (honorariums) and hospitalities (hotel, bottled water, etc.) provided by UF should be listed on the contract, as well as date, load in time, time of performance and UF contact persons/phone numbers.   

Per The University of Findlay policy, UF is a PG-14 school and a dry campus.  This dictates content of events.  Please review The University of Findlay rider, printed on the back side of The University of Findlay contract, for further policies, i.e.: payment (payment is to be provided at the conclusion of the event only), cancellation of an event, etc.  

It is the responsibility of the student organization to keep copies of all contracts and riders for their files.  Please provide a completed (signed) copy of the contract to the performer.  As a courtesy, please provide them a map of campus and any other information they may need, for example, hotel information.  

If any questions arise, please contact the Office of Student Activities & Commuter Student Services at ext. 4606 or email studentactivities@findlay.edu.
