VISITING SCHOLARS – CWID, CAMPUS PRIVILEGES, OIT, & FACILITIES ACCESS

If a Visiting Scholar will not be employed by the sponsoring department, they will require additional set-up. Departments must complete the Visiting Scholar/Visiting Student Form (Docusign) and Access to Campus Privileges Setup Form for Academic Affairs and HR approval for hosting a Visiting Scholar or Student, to generate a CWID Number and Action Card as well as access to UA Libraries for the dates of the visit.

Separate, additional forms (see below) will be required for access to UA Email, computer systems, and for building access.

Paid employees of UA do not require the Visiting Scholar or Access to Campus Privileges forms, though they may need to have other supplementary access forms processed.
