Outside Commitments and Outside Employment

"What happens if you submit a COC form prior to the trip and it’s not 'approved' before the date of the trip? Can you still go?"

Outside Commitments require prior approval.  In an ideal world, the COC form would be submitted in eDisclosure 4 weeks prior to the start date to ensure college and department reviewers have an opportunity to review the form, resolve concerns and/or implement a management plan.  Realizing that submission 4 weeks prior to the start date is not always possible, we ask that individuals email us to flag a fast-approaching start date so that we can work with the approvers to ensure all questions ar

"If a person asks for permission to engage in an Outside Commitment and it is declined, then what?"

If the Outside Commitment is not approved, the individual cannot engage in the Outside Commitment.

OROI is available to work with college/department approvers to discuss concerns and develop a COC management plan.  More details about the COC review process are available on our COC & COI Review Processes webpage.
