Policy
Authority for making decisions or taking action on behalf of the University and the campus are communicated through a series of delegations of authority from The Regents to the President, with redelegation of the President’s authority to the Chancellors of the individual campuses, or other University Officers, where authorized by The Regents. In some instances, the Chancellors may be authorized to redelegate certain authorities to act or approve actions to individual administrative officers on the campuses.
The University Office of the President has published guidelines regarding the protocols for delegation of authority. They may be accessed at this address:

A list of The Regents’and President’s Delegations of Authority (in reverse chronological order) is available on the Office of the President Website at:

Written redelgations of authority from the UCSF Chancellor to individual administrative officers on the UCSF campus are maintained by the Chancellor’s Office. UCSF Managers and administrative officers should insure that they have appropriate delegated authority before signing or approving contracts on behalf of UCSF, and before committing University financial resources. Questions regarding campus level delegations of authority should be directed to the Chancellor’s Office. (415-476-2401)
