Mentors and Administrators :: Appointing a Visiting Scholar
Visiting Scholar status is reserved for scholars who are invited to pursue a program of research during a limited term of residence. Current faculty, staff and students of the University of Michigan are not eligible for this status.
Effective May 1, 2012, applications for Visiting Scholar status must be submitted through Academic Human Resources.
Visiting Scholars must be sponsored by an academic unit of the University. Only the sponsoring academic unit may initiate the application for Visiting Scholar status. The sponsoring University department remains the primary contact for the Visiting Scholar and is responsible for administering the relationship throughout the duration of Visiting Scholar status. Please review Academic HR's Visiting Scholar Application Process.
Please note: Rackham Graduate School continues to administer programs for Visiting Research Graduate Students.
