An Independent Contractor is defined by the Controller’s office at the following URL https://www.bowdoin.edu/finance/accounting/accounts-payable/independent-contractors/index.html. If requested, each Independent Contractor is issued one account; the account is not to be shared with multiple Independent Contractors. Account permissions and access vary depending on requests and approval. All submissions and approvals for Independent Contractor accounts must be completed through the process provided by the controller’s office. In the event of early completion of contract, IT is to be notified immediately for account deactivation.
Once the paperwork is completed with the Controller's Office, complete the form to request a contractor account from IT. Click on "Request Contractor Account" on the right to fill out the form.
