Faculty Affiliate Recommendation Form

Faculty Affiliates are not University employees, but are associated with an academic department or organization of the University for the purposes of teaching or academic oversight. Those who hold the courtesy appointments typically contribute to the instructional, research, creative activity, or service functions of the University. As a visiting international scholar, you are considered a Faculty Affiliate. To receive your UM ID's, you must work with your host department to complete the Faculty Affiliate Recommendation Form which your host department will then submit to the Office of the Provost.
