Visiting Appointment
Visiting [FV_ (1100…1700)] academic appointees typically hold a primary appointment at another academic institution. The functions may span a wide range depending upon the individual’s areas of expertise and are to be delineated in an offer letter drawn up between the University (typically the DEO in consultation with the Dean) and the appointee.
These appointments range in length from one or two weeks, to a semester, a year, up to a maximum of three years. At the end of the initial appointment, the faculty member and the position should be reviewed. If desired and if the initial appointment was less than 3 years, reappointment for another term (not to exceed a total of 3 years combined) can be made by processing a Change in Status - Faculty Status Change form.
Appointments that are 50% time or more and extend for more than one year require an Equal Opportunity and Diversity search. The Appointment or Change in Status form and attachments are routed in workflow from the Department to the Dean's Office to the Office of the Provost for electronic signature.
