5.2 Non-Tenure-Track Faculty Ranks

5.2.5 Visiting Faculty

Non-tenure-track visiting faculty may hold full-time or part-time appointments for a limited term of up to two years. Visiting faculty carry out instructional and/or research responsibilities within an academic unit, department, and/or center/institute. Visiting appointments must comply with the requirements for full-time faculty appointments specified in Section 5.2, and they carry the same expectations as the full-time faculty appointments. Normally, full-time visiting faculty appointments will be made at the professorial rank that the individual holds at his or her home institution; however, the expectations of faculty in a visiting appointment are the same as those of the university’s professorial faculty of the same rank. Part-time visiting faculty may only hold the title of Visiting Faculty.

As with all other non-tenure-track faculty appointments, the provost will issue letters of appointment to visiting faculty members. Visiting faculty do not participate in governance of the university and are not subject to annual performance reviews.
