People who conduct business on the UMD campus regularly and interface with UMD community members should seek affiliate status. Regularly is generally defined as one day per week or more on average.

Affiliates
Affiliates can be those who: are not a student, staff or faculty member; have an affiliation with UMD so that it is desired to give them limited services; are not on campus to participate in campus/programs; and do not require a paid or non-pad appointment. Examples include auditors, interns, volunteers, faculty from other institutions and researchers from other organizations.
Affiliates are sponsored and approved by departments through the
PHR Affiliate Module. Affiliate status may not exceed 12 months; ongoing affiliates must be renewed annually. COVID-19 guidelines for affiliates and visitors are listed below. Contractors and vendors are covered under separate requirements.
