Agreement Process
The process for putting an agreement in place takes two forms. The University prefers to use its agreement, but hospitals and a few other facilities are bound to use the one prepared by their organization.
- Request for Agreement. An agreement is initiated by a written request from a department -- verbal information is never used. Fax and e-mail are both acceptable. The request must include the basic information such as the facility name, address, phone and contact.
- Generate New Agreement. Terms and conditions of an agreement can be negotiated at any time during this process by the affiliation agreement coordinator. Contact coordinator for further information.
