# Visiting Undergraduates Participating in Research or Clinical Activities
Undergraduate students 18 years or older who are currently enrolled in an accredited degree-granting institution other than Yale are welcome to participate in approved educational research and clinical activity under the mentorship of a Yale faculty member. Please review the [policy](http://provost.yale.edu/policies/visiting-undergraduates-participating-research-or-clinical-activities) before requesting an appointment as a visiting undergraduate.
The purpose is to provide the student with research and clinical experience under the mentorship of a Yale faculty member. The experience is solely for the student’s educational benefit and does not constitute an employment relationship between the student and Yale. A student may receive a stipend directly from their home institution or receive other fellowship support. However, support through Yale administered funds is permissible only when provided as a stipend to support an educational experience. Learn more about the [non-degree application process](https://gsas.yale.edu/admissions/non-degree-application-process).
A student may receive payment but must be hired through Human Resources in a temporary intern position. This option has not been widely used in the Chemistry Department. To be considered, submit a brief statement of the work to be performed to [Chemistry Administration Office](mailto:chemistry.adminoffices@yale.edu)and allow up to eight weeks for processing.
To request an appointment, contact [Undergraduate Academic Support](mailto:chemistry.dus@yale.edu?subject=Request%20for%20Visiting%20Undergraduate%20Research/Clinical%20Appointment) with the student’s name, contact information, and anticipated appointment dates. A Yale faculty member will then complete an application and provide the student with a NetID.
