A courtesy appointment is a non-tenure appointment and involves no remuneration.”

Please be aware, it is the responsibility of the appointee and the department to ensure that Academic Affairs is aware of any change in the information asserted in this form. This includes, but is not limited to, changes in employment or immigration status and changes in physical location.
