How do I host a domestic visitor?

The process for hosting a domestic visitor differs from hosting an international visitor. Throughout the Global Visitor Process, you must complete a series of forms in order to prepare the paperwork for your visitor’s arrival. The process should be initiated 3-6 months in advance of the visitor’s arrival. The process for onboarding visiting students is currently undergoing a transition; to ask questions or initiate the process, please contact URvisitor@rochester.edu.

Important Notes for Faculty:

As the hosting faculty, you are the visiting student, collaborator, or researchers’ supervisor and primary point of contact with the University from an academic, research, support, and supervisory standpoint. Additionally, should the student complete their stay at UR with any outstanding fees, it is your department’s responsibility to cover those fees.

If the duration of the visiting student, collaborator, or researchers’ time at UR changes—either shortens or lengthens—you should inform your department head/dean for approval as soon as possible, and then notify URvisitor@rochester.edu.
