Administrative & Financial Forms, Guidelines, & Checklists

  • Procurement & purchasing - contact the ISTLD Administrative Coordinator before purchasing items. In most cases, purchasing must be done by a purchase requisition or SFU credit card. Items that will become university assets (e.g., books, software) cannot be purchased by an individual for reimbursement. The ISTLD Administrative Coordinator will make this process easy for you.
  • TLDG Signature Sheet (DOCX) - once your project is finalized, have your chair/dean sign this form
