An affiliate is any individual who has a formal affiliation with the university, and receives some services from the university, but is not a student or employee of the university, and receives no compensation from the university (Formal affiliation means that a necessary relationship exists between the University and the individual to provide a service of value to the University).

In order to better our affiliates, sponsoring departments across campus must complete an Affiliate Service Request Form for all individuals who meet the definition of an affiliate given above. The form will be submitted to Payroll where data will be entered into the PeopleSoft Human Resources/Payroll system. Turnaround time for completion of this process is 7 working days.
