TO SIGN Signature authority is automatically assigned to University department heads, project directors, and other administrative officials for accounts which are directly under their supervision. By this means, the office manager is empowered to delegate signature authority for electronic document processing. It should be noted that neither the designation of an office manager nor the delegation of signature authority relieves administrative officials of their fiscal responsibility and accountability for accounts under their control. Accordingly, careful consideration must be given to the selection of capable and reliable employees when delegating signature authority.
Electronic approval is considered the equivalent of a hand-written signature.
An employee may not permit anyone else to know or use his or her password. The violation of this policy constitutes a serious offense against The University.
