Requesting UGAIDs for Visiting Researchers/Scholars: Revised Process
In order to access appropriate facilities and services, a Visiting Researcher / Scholar must be authenticated with a UGAID. In March this year, the Office of the Vice President for Research and the Office of International Education, together with EITS, implemented a process for obtaining a UGAID for visiting researchers and scholars. This process has been revised, effectively immediately.
In order to access appropriate facilities and services, a Visiting Researcher / Scholar must be authenticated with a UGAID. In March this year, the Office of the Vice President for Research and the Office of International Education, together with EITS, implemented a process for obtaining a UGAID for visiting researchers and scholars. This process required each unit’s HR representative to apply for access to the Visiting Scholar IDM system and then to apply for a UGAID for each visiting researcher through this system.
To minimize the number of people having to access the Visiting Scholar IDM system, OVPR has streamlined this process by centralizing the ID request portion of the Visiting Researcher workflow. This change is effective immediately.
Individual unit HR representatives will now provide information about the visitor to the OVPR Coordinator, who will obtain and return the UGAID. The instructions to request a UGAID for a visiting researcher/scholar have been updated and can be found on the OVPR website: https://ovpr.uga.edu/visiting/ (select the “Planning: UGA IDS, MyIDs and Personal Services Support tab).
Questions regarding a UGAID request can be directed to the OVPR Coordinator, Jessica Hawks (jhawks@uga.edu).
