Appointment Process
Upon accepting your fellowship you must complete the Form Q and return this via fax (574/631-6717) to the Attention of Denise Wright along with an up to date Curriculum Vita.
Visiting Fellows who are not US citizens or permanent residents must also complete and return a J-1 Visa Information form and a copy of the photo and bio page of your passport.
All of this information must be received before the formal letter of appointment or the visa documentation can be issued by the Provost’s Office.
After the required documents have been received by Denise, a formal letter of offer will be sent to you by the Vice President and Associate Provost of the University. You must accept that offer in writing for your appointment to be formalized.
Visiting fellows from abroad will not receive a Certification of Eligibility for an Exchange Visitor Visa (DS2019) until after the appointment process has been formalized. Fellows from abroad normally must have a J-1 visa; accompanying family members are classified as J-2. If visitors intend to have family members accompany them during their stay, they must provide each family member’s name, birthplace, date of birth, and citizenship on the J-1 Visa Information form.
Doctoral candidates who hold F-1 visas should arrange with officials at their universities to obtain all the necessary paperwork for “practical training” status before their appointment can be formalized.
For further information on visas please refer to Visa Information.
Housing
As an Institute visiting fellow you are given the option to lease a furnished on-campus faculty apartment administered by the Notre Dame Office of Business Operations.
In order to reserve an apartment you must complete the Application for Occupancy form. One month’s rent is required to reserve an apartment. This deposit will be applied to the first month’s rent. In the event of a cancellation, Business Operations requires a 30-day notice or the deposit, in whole or in part (prorated based on the days less than 30), will be forfeited. Please mail the completed form and check to:
