Loading Instructors of Record in Banner
All new faculty will be loaded in Banner as potential course instructors by the Office of Faculty Affairs, after the faculty member’s hiring proposal is fully approved and their employment record is entered in OneUSG Connect.
Graduate teaching assistants, graduate lab assistants, and post-doctoral research and teaching associates who need to serve as instructors of record will be loaded in Banner as potential course instructors only if the hiring unit sends a specific “Banner Load Request” to the Office of Faculty Affairs (OFA). To do so, please complete the Non-faculty Banner Load Request Form for each individual who needs to be added to Banner as a potential instructor of record. All requests for entry into Banner must be submitted by a department head or associate dean, and should be submitted to OFA at least one week before the employee is scheduled to begin teaching.

Research
The category Visiting Researchers / Scholars was created by the Offices of the Vice President for Research and International Education. The terms Visiting Researcher and Visiting Scholar refer to those mid- to long-term visitors who are coming to UGA to participate in research or scholarship for a period of time significant enough to require access to facilities (e.g. library, transportation) but are not UGA employees, UGA enrolled students or instructors of UGA courses.
If these visitors are enrolled at UGA or compensated by UGA, then normal admissions and employment practices are involved. Adjunct faculty members (non-paid) or those who will be involved in formal instructional roles of UGA academic courses must follow faculty appointment procedures.
