A department intends to change the dates or extend the visit of a visiting scholar already here. How is this accomplished?

OVA Addendum form can be used to extend coverage of the OVA to the length of the extended stay. Start dates typically stay the same. However, sometimes visitors arrive later than expected. The department changes the start date on the OVA Addendum to a later, actual date of arrival and changes the end date. If the dates on the OVA cover the revised period of stay, the Addendum is not necessary.

OVA Addendum can also be used to extend coverage of the OVA for an extra period of time, typically one year.

To change the dates or extend the visit of an existing visiting scholar, complete the OVA Addendum form as well as a new Official Visitor Agreement Cover Sheet and Routing form, and attach a previously approved OVA. Route the forms to ORC&S.
