GUEST ARTIST PROCESS STEPS:
...
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- ALWAYS ask for driver license and PIF: guest artists move, change names, and/or become businesses. Unfortunately, part of working for UT is providing paperwork to the department.
- Once you submit the paperwork no other cost items are added to the guest artist form. Discuss all cost items BEFORE submitting paperwork to Liesbeth.
- Changes to the guest artist form need to be done in writing: either in person on the guest artist form (with initials) or via email.
- If employing STUDENTS: please contact Tim Creswick (HR Representative) to discuss the employment - additional paperwork might be necessary.
- Information about cost estimates for hotel, flights, rental car, housing, guest honorariums can be found here

4. Guest artist must sign and date final approved paperwork on last day of service.
- This form requires the guest's original signature.
- Guest must sign within 30 days of completing the service.
- Payments and reimbursements are processed within 30 days of signed APS and documentation received.
- The faculty sponsor is responsible for obtaining the guest signature. Signature forms are being emailed to both the guest and the faculty sponsor. Please return an original signed signature form to the mailbox of Liesbeth.
- Return an original signed signature form to the mailbox of Liesbeth, together with any applicable receipts (travel, hotel, baggage)
- Liesbeth sends signed paperwork to Patricia Semenov, who will mail a check or direct bill the guest artist (for reimbursements or honoraria).
- Signature is only required for guest artists receiving an honorarium. If the department only covers travel costs, a different form is used, no signature required.
- Note: Early submission of guest artist paperwork (step 1) assures approval before the guest artist's arrival. It is easier for the guest artist to sign this form in person on their last day of service. Otherwise they must snail mail a signed form back to the department, which can significantly delay payment.
