Contracts for Partnerships Between Institutions, Agents, and Third-Party Providers

Wednesday, May 28, 2025
4:30 PM – 5:20 PM PST
The contract between an institution and an agency or third-party provider lays out the legal and operational obligations of any partnerships. This session explores common clauses that can hold up the execution of an agreement, and perspectives from all three stakeholder types. A focus on legal considerations drives the conversation.

Learning Objectives:

  • Achieve a better understanding of contractual requirements from an institutional, agency, and service provider perspective.
  • Utilize tools and techniques for developing a standard agreement template for each partnership type.
  • Identify the purpose, fit, and difference between a contract for an agency or service provider to achieve desired outcomes of the partnership.
  • Decipher complex legal jargon as it applies to higher education contracts.
