International & Domestic ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍøing Scholars
San José State University (ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø) hosts ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍøing Scholars (domestic or international) to engage in the exchange of knowledge, promotion of intercultural understanding, and for the mutual enrichment with our global partnership institutions. ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍøing Scholars are professors, researchers, specialists, or persons with similar education or accomplishments, who spend time at ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø for the purpose of lecturing, observing, consulting, training, or demonstrating their special skills. They normally possess the terminal degree for their field.
A ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍøing Scholar is typically a person affiliated with another institution who devotes gratis effort (unpaid) to ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø while participating in a short-term educational, research, or other academic project in collaboration with ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø faculty. While ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍøing Scholars are not compensated, units or departments may cover some expenses for them.
"Distinguished ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍøing Scholar" is an honorific title that may be used for ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍøing Scholars at ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø (International and Domestic). This designation is reserved for ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍøing Scholars with particularly distinguished careers. The title must be approved by the Provost to be applied. To gain approval from the Provost, the appropriate college Dean makes a request of the Provost that documents the qualifications and contributions of the candidate. If approved, the Provost will issue a letter that shall accompany other required documents when the ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍøing Scholar is appointed.
IMPORTANT: If the ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍøing Scholar will be working with a minor (18 & under), a LiveScan check is required. The scholar will need to reach out to the University Police Department at (408) 924-2172 to schedule an appointment. The scholar does not pay for the LiveScan fees, but will need to bring a photo identification to their appointment.
No person may have the title ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍøing Scholar unless an appointment as ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍøing Scholar has been approved by University Personnel. The appointment forms for International or Domestic ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍøing Scholars may be found here:
