Waiver Request System
Updated Guidance for 5 and 2 Day Waiver Requests
In an effort to better track waiver requests and improve transparency, we have designed and implemented a new approval system based on Teams. A PI can request a waiver through their Business Administrators which will then need to be approved by the Associate Dean for Research (or Dean designee) and then the Vice President for Research. Once all approvals are obtained, all interested parties are notified by the system and documentation is generated. (Link to the Waiver Request form)
As of May 20, 2024, this will be the mechanism to request a 2 or 5 day waiver. After that date, waiver requests through email will be referred back to this system.
