Visiting Scholar definition

Visiting Scholar means an individual who is pursuing an independent program of research at the University, or is participating in an existing research program, ordinarily while on leave from another professional position. Because of a Visiting Scholar’s advanced training and experience beyond that of an apprentice or learner, they are excluded from designation as a Postdoctoral Scholar or Fellow. A Visiting Scholar need not have a doctoral degree, but must have significant scholarly experience. A Visiting Scholar is temporary academic staff. Appointments as Visiting Scholars are normally without salary from the University.
