MOU, MOA and Affiliation Agreements

MOU-MOA POLICY GUIDELINES

The Assistant to the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor will serve as the liaison and will work with the appropriate Dean's and/or Director's office to assist with routing and finalizing each agreement.


Special Note for Articulation Agreements:
  • All articulation agreements must be shared with the Office of the Registrar before routing the document for approval.
  • There is a separate articulation agreement addendum used for internal agreements between UAA, UAF or UAS. 
 
Agreements Routed through the Office of Grants and Contract Administration (OGCA): 
  • Complex academic agreements that include funds received by either party do require an approved MOU/MOA, routed to the Office of the Provost. Especially if the agreement includes funding for a program. 
  • Academic Affiliation Agreements also need to be routed to the Office of the Provost. Other types of sponsored agreements can be handled by OGCA. 

Agreements Routed Through Procurement: Agreements obligating funds or agreements that fund a program need to be reviewed by the Office of the Provost.

The following types of MOU/MOA/Affiliation Agreements are routed through the Office of the Provost:

  • All Academic Activities- All MOU's, MOA's, and/or Affiliation Agreements for any academic activity (does not include MOAs for student practicums) that are created by academic units who report to the Provost, need to be processed through the Office of the Provost.
  • Marine Advisory Program (MAP) / Cooperative Extension Service (CES)- MOU, MOA, and/or Affiliation Agreements concerning the activities of the MAP or the CES need to be routed through the Office of the Provost.
  • Academic and Research- This type of MOU or MOA requires signatures from both the Provost and the Vice Chancellor of Research.
