There is no deadline for applications, though you should allow at least one month for your application to be considered, and at least two additional months to process your appointment should you be invited to visit UCLA. International visitors should apply at least six months in advance in order to allow time for visa processing

Invitation to visit the Department of Public Policy is solely at the discretion of your sponsoring faculty member(s) and the Chair of the Department of Public Policy. To identify an appropriate faculty member to serve as your sponsor, you may wish to access the department of Public Policy faculty research listings and contact information and the UCLA Faculty Research Interests database

Should both a sponsoring faculty member and the Public Policy Chair recommend your appointment, you will be issued a letter of invitation for a specific term or terms. The visa application process will begin upon your acceptance of this invitation.
