In order to identify academic visitors on campus, all sponsored accounts for individuals with an academic appointment or affiliation to the University of Guelph will require a Non Paid Appointment , including an employee number. Information on how to set up a visitor's appointment can be found at: http://www.vpacademic.uoguelph.ca/frprocedures/ and then choosing the link to download the Forms for Visiting Academics document on the right hand side of this page. This status must be requested from Human Resources prior to filling in the Sponsored Account application.

Depending on the time of year, it may take up to 5 business days to issue the account.
