Independent Contractors

Individuals or groups who are paid for services are considered independent contractors. If the individuals are students or employees of the university and are being paid for a service (such as performance at Reunion Weekend), they will be paid through payroll; the request for payment should be sent to Payroll.

If the independent contractor is not a student or employee, then submit the Invoice or Disbursement Request to accounts payable. If this is the first time paying this contractor, you will also need to submit a completed Federal Tax Form W-9.
