GUEST GUIDELINES FROM HR WEBSITE:
Guest Description
Caltech maintains informal relationships with other organizations and individuals in the scientific and business community. Individuals who are conducting short-term projects or collaborating with Institute employees on research projects are identified for Caltech purposes as Guests.
Caltech Guest Definition
In general, a Guest has no formal appointment or contract with Caltech, is not on the Caltech payroll and is not volunteering services to the Institute but is on campus as a "guest" of an Institute Department or Division for a predetermined length of time up to a two-year maximum. Although Guest usually identifies individuals who are conducting short-term projects or collaborating with Institute employees on research, this term may also include closely allied ancillary groups needing campus access, such as JPL employees working with research projects on campus.
Foreign nationals may not have guest status unless they have an appropriate visa status. A visitor for tourism authorization (WT or B-2) does not authorize an individual to engage in the performance of guest services at Caltech.
Guest Process:
Human Resources enters Guest personal, organization, and location information into the Oracle HR system for the following reasons:
Access - Guests may be provided access to email, computer systems, buildings or labs, on-campus parking, the library, and other services on an as-needed basis, as determined by the sponsoring Division or Department.
Safety – Since these individuals are collaborating on campus, their safety is important to Caltech. Entering the guest's information into Oracle provides Caltech with basic contact information and links them to our automated security notification system should an emergency arise.
When the guest's assignment ends, the Division or Department collects ID card (if applicable) and notifies Human Resources via email of the departure. Human Resources will terminate the record in Oracle and access privileges will close.
