The School of Education welcomes potential visiting scholars, including graduate students, who are interested in working with faculty members in our department. The below information describes the SOE’s procedures for reviewing applications from potential visiting scholars.

Please note that potential visiting scholars require a faculty sponsor in the School of Education. This faculty member will submit the application on the potential scholar’s behalf.

Approval Process

1. The faculty sponsor contacts the chair of the Promotion, Tenure, and Appointments (PTA) Committee to communicate his or her intention to propose a visiting scholar.
2. The faculty sponsor completes the below application form on behalf of the scholar and submits it to the Welfare Committee for initial review. Please note that this application form is due by September 1 for intended arrival the following Spring or by February 1 for intended arrival the following Fall.
3. The PTA Committee reviews the application and requests input from program area faculty, if needed. The Committee should consider the visiting scholar’s contribution to the field and their potential contribution to the SOE and university.
4. The PTA Committee votes whether to approve the scholar. If approved, the PTA Chair(s) should contact the faculty sponsor and advise the faculty sponsor to continue the process with CEHD HR and the Office of International Students and Scholars (if necessary). The PTA Chair should also alert the SOE Director, Senior Associate Director, and business administrator that the visiting scholar has been approved by the faculty.
5. If the applicant is an international scholar, the faculty sponsor and scholar should complete the Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) visiting scholar approval process. Please note that completed documents are due to OISS six weeks before the scholar’s arrival.
