In the templates listed below, specific areas of the templates that require completion are highlighted in yellow, and certain fields also include brackets. The final clean version of the agreement should not include any text highlighted in yellow, or any extraneous brackets. When completing a University-approved template, please be sure to remove all unneeded brackets and highlights from the agreement. University templates are revised from time to time by the Office of General Counsel.
