Your host department or school is required to complete an appointment form for all Category 2 and 3 Visitors. Appointment forms can be found on my.pitt.edu. Search for University Business Forms on the site and select the University Business Forms result. The Forms Library will be located in the left column. Note that only certain sections of the appointment form should be completed for Category 2 and 3 Visitors (and that, currently, Visitor appointments are not entered by department administrators electronically into Pitt Worx). Instructions for completing the form are located on the Agreements, Forms, and Checklists section of this website. Once completed, the appointment form should be sent to the Visitor Liaison.
Upon receipt of the visitor appointment form, the Visitor Liaison will conduct a quality control review and enter the information into Pitt Worx. Once all information is entered into Pitt Worx, it takes 24 hours for the information to appear in the University’s Central Directory Service (CDS). An employee record will be generated after the visitor's information appears in the University's CDS. All subsequent changes to the Visitor's CDS record, including final termination, must be made electronically in Pitt Worx. The changes will then be routed via the school dean’s office for approval and then to the Visitor Liaison for final approval. All entries into Pitt Worx will be noted in the Visitor’s MyEC record.
