Survival Guide-Administrative Principles

General Observations


The University has many forms and instructions on how to handle situations in the legal and (usually) most efficient way. To follow such instructions effectively, however, it helps to understand the general principles behind the pieces of paper.

Some of these principles, such as the need to document payments, are common sense. We learn about these when managing our personal finances, such as filling out income tax returns. Other principles, especially those that apply uniquely to universities or uniquely to this university, may not be as obvious.
