Visiting Scholars
All visiting scholars need to have a Sociology Faculty Sponsor with whom they will be collaborating during their planned visit. Once the Faculty Sponsor and prospective visiting scholar have agreed on collaboration dates, the Faculty Sponsor will contact the Visiting Scholars coordinator to setup the Departmental Invitation letter (Note: this is not the official UCSD visiting scholar appointment letter outlined below). This letter and the visiting scholar's acceptance is required before the prospective appointment may proceed further.
All invited visiting scholars must provide the following documentation in order to officially register as a Visiting Scholar/Student at UCSD. Our staff are happy to provide you assistance on general advice and point you to the right resources for your visit. However, it is the visitor's responsibility to learn and understand the rules for maintaining their appointment and/or immigration status.
If an international visitor, please also see the section below entitled International Visitors for additional required documents.
For our visitors requiring departmental sponsorship for a DS-2019 to obtain a J-1 visa, the following must be submitted along with the items listed above at least 3 months prior to planned arrival date.
Please note that these items listed below should be submitted through Sociology's online form here.
If you are a Visiting Graduate Student: $100 Visiting Student Registration Fee - This is in addition to the visa processing fee and must be paid within six weeks upon arrival on campus.
Upon submission of the required documents, the Sociology Visiting Scholar Coordinator will contact you with your official appointment letter.
International Scholars: Upon receiving your written acceptance, the Sociology Department will submit the necessary DS-2019 application along with the acceptance letter to the International Faculty and Scholars Office(IFSO). Please allow 10 business days for processing (5 business days if rush fees paid). Once our department obtains the DS-2019, we will mail the original to you so that you may obtain your visa.
