College of Design

Guest Speaker and Honorarium

Proposal and Approval Form

Please review the College of Design Honoraria and Guest Travel Guidelines (PDF) on https://inside.design.iastate.edu/forms/


This form is required for any situation where a guest will be given an honorarium by funding housed in the College of Design. Regardless of funding source, this form should be completed no less than three weeks prior to any event.


The timeline requested of three weeks prior to the event is to allow plenty of time to review budget, verify funding, and establish supplier for guest (as needed). The form is established to help ensure that all policy surrounding such events are followed. The goal of establishing the guidelines is to pull all relevant policy together instead of expecting faculty to find all the information. This process will also notify involved colleagues of the intention for this event and will allow us to best support you in the success of your event.

  • Funding and unit authorities have necessary information about the events and expenses within their units.
  • The department partner or corresponding staff will be notified upon submission of this form.
  • The communications team will be notified in the possibility that they are not already aware.

Guest Speaker & Event Details

An honorarium is a one-time payment given to an individual (not a business or organization) as a gesture of thanks for contributing to a short, non-recurring event, such as a guest lecture, panel discussion, or critique, where no formal deliverable is required.


If paying a company, then an invoice is required. Service will be categorized as a Speaker/Guest Speaker instead of Honoraria. See: https://www.procurement.iastate.edu/resources/payment-and-procurement-methods

If this is for a company, then an invoice is required.
