OVPR and Office of International Education have partnered with EITS to create procedures that help assure these mid- to long-term visitors have access to services and facilities, from libraries to research services, transportation and housing.  Key to accessing services is an UGA ID.  A new OVPR web page provides a step-by-step guide to assuring visiting researchers are provided with a UGA ID, from before 3 months before arrival, to on and just after arrival, with clear assignment of roles for the sponsoring department, the visitor, and the unit HR representative.

Resources – from airport information to transportation information to housing and child care – also are available to help assure productive visits to UGA.
