A department may choose to sponsor Staff and Lecturer positions for permanent residence when there is an intention for ongoing employment.
International Scholar Services will consult with the department about the nature of the international person's activities to determine the most appropriate permanent residence process.
Limited Term staff/lecturer positions are ineligible for University-Sponsored permanent residence.
The Office of the Provost maintains template letters to be used to extend offers to Lecturers and Limited Term Lecturers. (Staff offer letters are generated through SuccessFactors). Provost template letters for lecturers and limited term lecturers incorporate space for different options and situations to be included. Business offices and Hiring Units should not attempt to edit templates to include more or other language beyond the options built into the templates.
