* Sponsored Accounts and Unpaid/Visiting Appointments
This appointment type requires a sponsored account because these faculty are not UVA or UPG employees. A sponsored account is NOT REQUIRED for per diem faculty because they are employed by UPG.
Process Overview for New Appointments
- The department sends the appointment letter and CV to Faculty Affairs (FA).
- FA sends out the appointment letter in DocuSign, copying Ask HR (Talent Support).
- After the letter is executed, the department submits a new sponsored account request.
- If access to health system resources is needed, then an account should be requested through HIT.
- If access to academic resources is needed, then an account should be requested through ITS.
- When HR has the signed letter and sees the active sponsored account, they initiate a background check through Fischer. A health screening may also be required through UVA Workmed. Please see the Health System policy, Occupational Health Screening and Maintenance.
- After the background check and health screenings are complete, HR creates a Workday profile for the faculty member, keys in the academic appointment, and uploads the appointment letter into Workday.
IMPORTANT: Reappointments and sponsored account renewals are separate processes. The sponsored account must be renewed by the department every year, even if the appointment spans three years. Faculty will be deactivated in Workday if they have an expired sponsored account regardless of the appointment term.
