University Affiliates 

University affiliates are individuals who have relationships with The University of Texas at Austin outside of traditional employment. The incumbent can be paid or unpaid, and may have a university affiliate assignment in addition to other assignments at the university. They may be individuals who need access to university services, such as laboratories or parking privileges, and prior to HRMS, received these accesses through 0% appointments or through Official Visitor letters. Not all university affiliates require access to university services; designating the most appropriate level of privileges determines eligibility and access to services for all incumbents assigned to a position.
