Visiting Scholar Badge Request Form
This form must be submitted by the hosting department.
What To Know Before Requesting A Badge
If your school or department is interested in hosting a scholar or researcher from a foreign institution you will have to submit an Exchange Visitor Program Application before submitting a request for a badge. Please visit the International Programs & Partnerships website for more detailed information about the Exchange Visitor Program. As part of the application process you will be provided with information on how to Request Resources for the Visiting Scholar, including a Sponsored Guest Account and UTRGV ID number from Human Resources.
Requesting A Badge
Once the application and Guest Account have been processed, you may complete and submit this form. You will receive notice when the scholar’s account has been generated and further instructions will be provided.
The requesting department will be required to pay a $12 fee via IDT unless prior arrangements have been agreed upon and approved by Campus Card Services.
Request Expiration
Badge requests expire at the end of the semester the request is made. Please be sure the Visiting Scholar receives their Badge at UTRGV Campus Card Services during the current semester or another request will need to be made.
