Review the updated information on how to obtain approvals and signatures from the Academic Deans and the Executive Cabinet members.

Faculty and staff should follow the attached directions when forwarding forms for signature.

updated August 18, 2023

Form Approval Process

Do:

• Download forms Academic Affairs or Business Services before typing into them. (Unless it is an online submission form.)
• Utilize staff to move your form through the approvals process. When in doubt, ask your staff/admin person.
• Contact Maria.Eastman@linggu8.com to learn which staff person is assigned to your area or review reporting areas.

Do Not:

• Do not CC all potential & future signatories and the final recipient when forwarding to the next signatory.
• Please do not use the “shotgun approach” by CC’ing everyone who may possibly need to approve your form. Doing so creates duplicate forms & efforts, which takes time to untangle.
• DO NOT SEND FORMS DIRECTLY to INDIVIDUAL ADMINISTRATORS.

Only DocuSign envelopes, such as those programmed through Marketplace or the Grants Office, will continue to be sent directly to the individual signatory.
