Contracts for J-1 Exchange Visitors
If your J-1 Exchange Visitor will be paid a stipend for teaching a course, you must submit a Dean’s Recommendation for Employment form signed by your department chair and dean as early as possible but no later than one month prior to arrival. This form will result in a contract being issued by Academic Affairs. The contract and forms both will be sent to the address listed on the visitor’s CV or resume. The visitor should sign the contract, complete the forms, and return them to Academic Affairs. Academic Affairs will then forward the appropriate paperwork to Human Resources. Once Human Resources receives the completed paperwork, your visitor will have a record in Banner and a user ID for email and other Appalachian systems.
Email and software account (if no contract)
If your J-1 Exchange Visitor will not be receiving a contract, you must complete the Non-employee user account request form for them to be given access to email and most computing systems on campus. Once this request is approved your visitor will be given a username and eligible to set up ITS accounts and passwords. The non-employee user account request form can be found here.
Housing
It is your responsibility to ensure that the J-1 Exchange Visitor has housing secured prior to his or her arrival.
