International Scholar Visit

Introduction

UF invites and hosts International Scholars and International Visitors (collectively, “International Scholars”) for collaboration in research, teaching, extension and service activities. These visits must receive approval from UF Research Integrity, Security & Compliance (UF RISC) prior to the extension of a formal invitation.

International Scholar Review 

Submit a review request to UF RISC through the International Scholars and International Visitors Review portal. Review requests must be submitted to the portal at least thirty (30) days prior to the extension of the Invitation or at least thirty (30) days prior to any UF imposed visa-processing deadline. A review request for a Scholar or Visitor can submitted through the International Scholar and International Visitors Portal no more than six (6) months prior to start date. The Sponsoring Department may not extend an Invitation until it receives written approval from UF RISC.

For more information, please review these additional completion instructions and FAQs regarding the Portal.

Process of International Scholar Submission

UF RISC will review all submissions and issue a determination to the sponsoring unit in accordance with the Policy. After receipt of a determination from UF RISC, route International Scholars to the appropriate area for continued processing.
