Other Considerations

Negotiating Terms for Your Academic Stay
In negotiating a position as a visiting scholar or researcher, you can avoid many painful misunderstandings by obtaining clear agreement, in writing, about a number of important issues.

Corresponding With the Office of International Services
On some university campuses, particularly those of large research universities, an Office of International Services (which may use a slightly different name) offers a valuable liaison between visiting scholars, researchers, or faculty and the campus community.

Professional Meetings, Conferences, and Training Seminars
While making your plans for U.S. study, correspond with professional associations in your areas of interest to determine dates and locations of meetings, seminars, conferences, and other short-term professional development programs in your field.
