Contract Courses

Contract courses may be affiliated with grants or an agency. 

• Guidelines for Contract Courses

There are two main categories of contract courses:

1. Grant Funded - Grant Pays Cost of Instruction - Students do not pay tuition or fees, since the cost of the instruction is covered by the grant. 

2. Agency Paid - Not Grant Related  
   
   An agency contracts with the University to teach the course to a specific population of students. The negotiated amount covers all course expenses, including instruction and the course processing fee. Students do not pay tuition and fees. Any remaining funds after all course expenses have been covered go to the academic department/school. 

Application materials required: 

• Application for Contract Course (Required for Agency and Grant-Related courses)

• Budget Estimate Worksheet for Agency Paid Contract Course  (Excel File) -- not required for Grant-Related Contract Courses

• Grant Pays Cost of Instruction - Submit a copy of grant budget summary approved by Grants Accounting to document cost of instruction and course processing fee charged each time the course if offered.
