Performance Agreements

A performance agreement is a specialized contract between the University and an Artist or non-UCSD Speaker: Speaker/Lecturer, Band, DJ, Dance group, Other (e.g. magician, comedian, and jugglers).

Performance Agreements are required when contracting with paid and non-paid performers, artists and speakers (due to University Policy, a performance agreement cannot be used or processed to compensate a UC employee, including student employees).

Process for Student Governments

Before the event:

  1. The Student Government enters the Performer/Speaker information, and payment amount if necessary, through the Performance Agreement module in the Event TAP, then submits it for review. 
  2. Once the Performance Agreement module is submitted in TAP, the Student Government Fund Manager will complete the following:
    • Email the Performer/Speaker an invitation to PaymentWorks to set up their payment information with the University.
    • Forward the performance agreement request to the Campus Events Office for the agreement to be processed and sent to the performer.
  3. Once the Performer/Speaker receives their agreement, they need to complete the following:
    • Check the Agreement so that their name and payment address information is correct, then sign/date the Agreement and return to the Campus Events Office Performance Agreement manager.
    • Complete payment setup in the University PaymentWorks system.

After the Event:

Once the signed agreement is received and performance has been confirmed, the Student Government Fund Manger will process the payment to the Performer.  As long as the performer has completed their payment information in the University system, they should expect payment approximately 2-3 weeks after the event.
