Yale University
| ![]() |
Faculty from other academic institutions are often invited to Yale to teach for a semester or an academic year, and on rare occasions for more than one year. Visiting faculty members on salaried appointments for one semester or longer are eligible for health benefits and contributions toward retirement. (See Section XVIII.D.2 .) Persons who hold academic teaching appointments in an established college or university and who are appointed to a visiting teaching position at Yale will be given a title at Yale which is the same or equivalent to the title they hold at their home institutions. Except in the School of Architecture, visiting faculty who concurrently do not hold regular professional rank at another institution will be appointed as lecturers. The University seldom makes appointments of visiting faculty who during their Yale appointments hold full-time teaching appointments in other institutions. Where a special situation requires the appointment of a part-time visitor, including for a period less than one term, approval of the Yale Provost and the dean or provost of the visitor's institution is required before the appointment may be offered.
