MAE Unpaid Academic Visitor Request

This form should be used to request a HR appointment for unpaid visitor access. Approval from the College Deans office is now required for all Visitor unpaid appointments. This will add additional processing time to the request. Background checks are now required for all academic visitors (excluding emeritus and retiree appointments). An academic visitor is defined as any person (domestic or international) who is not employed by NC State (not paid salary); has been invited by an NC State host; will participate in or observe teaching, research, or other scholarly activities; and will require independent access to university facilities and/or resources in ways that are not available to the general public — including fully remote access to resources if a Unity ID is required. Please alert your visitor to look for an email from background check and complete it ASAP. There are several forms that need to be uploaded into this request for an unpaid visitor participating in research prior to routing. INCOMPLETE FORMS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY SLOW THE PROCESS


*The following forms are required if the unpaid individual is performing research. PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU NEED A DS2019 THE QUESTIONNAIRE AND VRA WILL BE COLLECTED DURING THAT PROCESS AND NOT NEEDED FOR THIS FORM!!

Visiting Researcher Questionnaire (To obtain the clearance email from export control, the hosting department (recommended to be the hosting faculty member) must first complete export control’s visiting scholar questionnaire. Export control will conduct a review and send an email within 48 hours to confirm approval or request additional information. Copy of this email is required for an unpaid appointment.) You will upload the email you receive into this form: https://research.ncsu.edu/administration/compliance/research-compliance/export-controls/hosting-international-visitors/visiting-scholar-questionnaire/
