Volunteer/Person of Interest (POI)
Volunteer/POI Guide
POIs are in an unpaid relationship with the university. The titles used are Non-Research Volunteer, Research Volunteer, Employee of Government Agency, Independent Contractor, Student Volunteer, and Visiting Scholar/Researcher.
Departments must submit the following to process a POI or Volunteer:
- Criminal Background Check (when required) - Visit the UTSA CBC web page for more information on the CBC process.
- POI eForm – An eForm needs to be completed for all POIs requesting UTSA network access. Please attach the Acknowledgement of Service without Salary to the eForm. All eForms for Visiting Scholars/Researchers or volunteers involved in research will route to the Office of Research Integrity for approval as long as the appropriate job code/title is selected. Please make sure the appropriate job code/title is selected to avoid processing delays. Please visit ORI’s website for more information.

- Independent Contractors- Please review the contractor guidelines before selecting this title.

Please note: Human Resources will not enter POIs into PeopleSoft unless they need UTSA network access. If access is required, an eForm should be submitted to HR, so a job record can be entered into PeopleSoft.
