If a Faculty Sponsor has an existing VRS and wishes to extend the visit past the original visit end date or past the maximum visit duration for the VRS type, the VRS's access may be extended pending processing of this form.
Should the extension be approved, Office of Research will request the visiting researcher/scholar’s UGAID be reactivated. Extensions are for a maximum of 12 months at a time.
Note that an individual is considered a visiting researcher/scholar, and subject to the terms of his/her Visiting Researcher Agreement, throughout the full period of any extension, whether the VRS is working on a UGA campus or remotely through UGAID access.
This form must be filled out by the sponsoring unit.
