Visiting Student/VISIT
If you will have a currently enrolled student visit your lab, they will need to come through the University's VISIT program. Please talk to the HR manager regarding the VISIT program and the rules and regulations. VISIT stipends may not be paid on an externally funded award unless the award sponsor specifically approves payment of a stipend to an international visitor.
