Affiliate Types:
A Faculty Affiliate is a distinguished individual associated with an academic department or organization at the University. This role focuses on fostering research collaboration, academic oversight, and contributing to scholarly activities. As a Faculty Affiliate, you will be granted a 790# and NetID. You can also request a University of Montana email address and access to resources such as the Mansfield Library. All Faculty Affiliates must be approved by the sponsoring department chair, dean, and Office of the Provost.
A Campus Affiliate is associated with an external organization that maintains a close working relationship with the University. Examples include employees from the UM Foundation, University Center vendors, or individuals involved in contracted services on campus. All Campus Affiliates must be approved by the sponsoring department and the Vice President for Operations and Finance.
To be granted affiliate status, a sponsoring department must submit an application that includes a summary of the affiliates qualifications and contributions. Faculty and Campus Affiliate appointments automatically expire on September 30th of each year. It is the affiliate's responsibility to work with their sponsoring department to renew their affiliate status.
