Description
Starting October 1, 2025, UM Policy HR-513 - Volunteers and Other Unpaid Appointments updates take effect, introducing a new process for managing unpaid appointments, replacing all accounts formerly known as Courtesy Appointments. The policy now defines seven categories of unpaid appointments with specific requirements, including which types receive a mailbox.
Types of Unpaid Appointments
- Guest Affiliate - Individuals paid by another organization or non-University payroll or unpaid who need access to university resources for appropriate, approved purposes.
- Conditional appointment - University employees whose unpaid appointment is conditional upon the individual’s paid appointment to gain access that would otherwise not be available through the paid appointment, such as School of Medicine and School of Nursing faculty who receive a concurrent unpaid appointment for MU Health Care access.
- Education Partner - Individuals who possess a professional certification or licensure and who have a formal Agreement to teach, advise, mentor, supervise, or otherwise provide educational opportunities to university students within a non-university organization.
- Emeritus - Individuals granted Emeritus status, pursuant to CRR 320.090, may be granted an unpaid appointment.
- Vendor - Individuals who use the University’s facilities and resources to perform their work for a contracted organization, such as contractors, outsourced services, independent contractors, and vendors.
- Visiting Student - Students who partake in University of Missouri educational experiences under a formal Education Agreement between the University of Missouri (host institution) and their home institution (affiliate).
- Volunteer - Individuals who perform services for the university for civic, charitable, or humanitarian reasons without promise, expectation, or receipt of compensation for services rendered.
