Paying with University Funds
If you are a University employee and intend to pay for the services of an editor/tutor using University funds (e.g. grant funds), be aware that you must follow the University’s Independent Contractor Policy, and the associated procedure, “Paying an Independent Contractor”. Details on these processes are available in sections 708-2 of the University’s Policies, Standards, and Procedures. The Writing Center cannot provide instructions, advice, or support for this process and will not be available to support you or the person you hire in financial matters.
