We welcome Visiting Guests-in-Residence (VGiR) to our campus.

VGiR's include personnel that are not hired as AUS employees, yet need to have access to AUS facilities in order to conduct their research and/or help AUS faculty in research-related activities utilizing no AUS research fund or self-funded. 

Currently this category includes:

• selected scholarship recipients (e.g., the Fulbright program) and research assistants
• visiting faculty (e.g., Fulbright scholars, faculty on sabbaticals)
• doctoral students conducting dissertation research
• future graduate students who are awaiting their admission into AUS graduate programs

All relevant departments and personnel must ensure that the Office of International Exchange Programs is notified at least 12 weeks prior to the scholar's arrival date on campus.
