Appointment Tab
- In the Appointment Start Date, Appointment End Date, and Appointment Title fields, enter information based on the UC Berkeley appointment approval (to be uploaded into documents tab).
- Select either "Research Scholar" or "Short-Term Scholar" as the J visitor category. Click here for category information.
- The Subject Field Code should reflect the area of research or teaching in which the scholar will engage while at UC Berkeley. For extension cases and transfer cases, the code should be used from the scholar's current DS-2019. For new cases, Department Administrators should work with the faculty sponsor who is inviting the visitor to select a subject/field code that accurately reflects the area of research and/or teaching. If the numeric code is known, you may enter it in the left field. The complete listing of CIP codes can be found at the following website: http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/default.aspx?y=55.
- The scholar code must begin with a number (student codes are alphabetized at the bottom of the list; not entering a number will result in an error). Because U.S. Department of Homeland Security regulations require that all research/teaching activities must be consistent with and closely related to the subject/field indicated on the Form DS-2019, selecting a broad subject/code may allow for the exploratory and/or interdisciplinary nature of some research projects while still defining the original program objective.
- In the Field of Research or Teaching, enter a brief description of what the scholar will be researching or teaching while at UC Berkeley.
- Indicate whether the primary activity is Research or Teaching. If the visitor will be engaging in both, indicate the primary activity.
