Contracts

All contracts involving student organizations must be submitted to the Student Center no later than three weeks prior to the contracted date, for signature by the Executive Director of the Student Center after approval from University General Counsel. The Executive Director of the Student Center is the ONLY person who can sign contracts for student organizations as per University policy. This review is established for the protection of the student organization, its officers and advisor, and the University. Any contract signed before securing proper approval is the personal responsibility and liability of the individual signing the contract. If your student org has a contract, please contact the Student Center at studentactivities@rice.edu. 

Equipment Rentals

When renting equipment from an off-campus vendor, please contact the Student Center. The University's Director of Risk Management (Eno Oregbesan, eno.oregbesan@rice.edu, 713-743-4751) will insure the equipment in the event of theft, lost property, or damage, and protect your student org from liability. Please note that an insurance premium may be assessed if renting equipment. Make sure that you contact the Student Center (studentactivities@rice.edu) before you make the final arrangements with the vendor.
