Domestic Visitors

If you are considering coming to the University as a visiting student, you should have already discussed this placement with a specific Rochester faculty member who will sponsor your visit. This faculty member submits a form to the University for review, relationship determination, and approval, officially starting the Global Visitor Program at Rochester.

The International Services Office does not facilitate “matches” between visitors and University faculty. It is your responsibility to connect with a Rochester faculty member prior to contacting us or submitting a visiting student/visiting researchers or faculty application.

Once you have secured a faculty sponsor, you can review the instructions and apply here.

Each school within the University of Rochester has specific appointment procedures for visiting faculty and post-docs, and Global Engagement will refer these cases appropriately. Your hosting school or unit will initiate the process, and then we’ll be in touch with you for next steps. You’ll need to complete a series of forms in order to prepare the paperwork for your arrival.

We’ll be in touch to help you through the process—regardless of how you’re categorized.

We’ll evaluate the purpose of your visit and the relationship you maintain with the University to determine whether you’ll be enrolled as a non-matriculated student or appointed in one of the schools in one of several visiting categories (i.e. faculty, post-doc, etc.).
