8. Returned Contracts
A contract can be returned at any point in the approval process by the applicable approver. When a contract is returned, you will see its status on the Pending tab is "Returned." You will also see text in the "Reject/Return Reason" column explaining the reason the contract was returned. An email will also be automatically generated to alert you.
For more information, click on the contract ID number. You will see a new tab called "Returns Log." Click on the tab to view the returns log. The log provides the date and time the contract was rejected/returned, the Net ID of the person user who returned the contract, along with and the return/reject reason.
A returned contract is not approved and you MUST take action in order to resolve the issue. You should then take one of three actions, as appropriate: 1) delete the contract (see below); 2) submit the contract again for approval after issues have been resolved; 3) make edits to the contract and then submit the contract again for approval.
9. Deleting a Contract that has not been approved
You may delete a contract if it has not yet been submitted for approval, or if it has been returned.
1. Use the "View, Delete, Revise or Terminate Graduate Student Assistantship Contract" feature to search for the contract. Click on the appropriate Contract ID number. On the "Assistantship Type" tab of the appropriate contract, click "DELETE CONTRACT."
2. You will be asked to confirm that you want to delete the contract. If so, click "YES DELETE;" otherwise, click "RESET/DO NOT DELETE."
| Info |
|---|
| Note: When you delete a contract, all information associated with the contract is removed and it will no longer appear on your list of contracts. We recommend that you audit your list of pending contracts regularly and delete any contracts that are no longer needed. |
3. You will receive a confirmation that the contract has been deleted.
10. Viewing Processed/Approved Contracts
Once a contract has been approved by Graduate StudiesOAP, it will no longer be visible on the Pending tab. Instead, you will find the contract on the "Processed/Terminated/Revised" tab.
Below is a list of status messages on the "Processed/Revised/Terminated" tab:
Status | Description |
|---|---|
Completed | Contract has been approved by |
the Office for Academic Personnel. Status will update to "Processed" after nightly EPAF/Financial Aid updates have been completed. | |
Processed | Contract has been fully processed. Contract may be revised or terminated at this stage. |
Revised | Contract has been revised by department originator. See job aid on Revisions and Terminations for more information. |
This status is used only when a termination has been submitted and is awaiting Graduate Studies approval. See job aid on Revisions and Terminations for more information.
Terminated | Contract has been terminated by department originator and termination has been processed by |
the Office for Academic Personnel. See job aid on Revisions and Terminations for more information. |
Once a contract has been approved, you can view the contract data by searching for the contract and/or clicking on the appropriate contract number in your originator list. You will notice a message saying "Active Contract" at the top of the screen.
On the Assistantship Type tab, you will also notice a button labeled "View Contract," which allows you to view and print the approved contract. (Use your browser's back button to return to the Assistantship Type tab.) 
A contract that has been processed can no longer be returned for correction. To make any changes to a contract that is on the "Processed/Terminated/Revised/Terminated" tab, you will need to either make a revision or a termination (see next job aid). Changes can only be made to a contract that is in "Processed" status, not in "Revised" or "Terminated" status. Please see job aid "Revise or Terminate Assistantship Contracts" for more information.
