Important Things to Know Before Getting Started
- A BearBUY purchase order is required for each project/contract and must be in place PRIOR to beginning any services with an independent contractor(s) on the Upwork platform.
- Payment to Upwork must be paid directly by the University.
- ATTENTION! Personal credit cards are not an appropriate form of payment. Reimbursements using personal funds paid to Upwork for university business purposes are not allowable.
- Upwork is a contracted supplier and has evidence of adequate insurance on file with the university. There is no need to request/upload a Certificate of Insurance to your Upwork order! You can submit your order without one.
- Please review the Frequently Asked Questions page.
