Visiting Academic Appointment Process

 

Visiting academic appointments are recommended by academic units (divisions, schools, or the College), and require the approval of the Provost.

 

A visiting appointment normally may be offered only to an individual who has academic rank from a "home" academic institution: it must be the case that the end of the appointment at the home institution extends beyond the end of the visit to the University. Visiting appointees do not have a University of Chicago Statutory academic rank: they bring their rank with them, and the terms of their appointments here are subject to administrative policies set in the Office of the Provost.
