Welcome to the new Artist Contract Review/Creation wizard:

This form is intended for club officers to use, to request creation of review or a contract between the University at Buffalo Student Association Inc. ("SA") and any performer that your club may wish to use.

Please fill out this form to submit a contract for review or request SA generate a new contract. Note that this process generally takes about 2-3 weeks depending on what the contract is for and other factors.

The club's Treasurer or President MUST request funds for the expenditure described in the requested contract, and the request for funds must be approved by the SA Treasurer in the SAFE system before the contract may be released.
