UC San Diego welcomes over 800 visiting scholars every year. Normally visiting scholars are invited by their faculty sponsor. In other cases, scholars may be interested in visiting UC San Diego. In the latter case, the scholar will need to identify a faculty member to sponsor their appointment.Visa an Non-Immigrant Status Information

Visiting Scholars who are not employed by UC but who visit the University and use UC funds and facilities are required to sign the University Patent Acknowledgement as a condition of the appointment.
