In either case, such persons are not Visiting Scholars. For more information on compensation processes and procedures, contact your unit Human Resources administrator. Likewise enrollment for academic credit in University of Michigan undergraduate or graduate degree or certificate programs is also inconsistent with the purposes of Visiting Scholar status.
