This step is required before any eForm such as the Visiting Scholar Application can be submitted if the prospective visiting scholar does not already have a profile in TC-Compass. 

If the prospective visiting scholar is a returning visiting scholar or alumni of Teachers College, you do not need to "Add New Person," instead you will be able to locate this individual's record by entering their TCID and date of birth. 

Instructions

1. Click on "Add New Person"
2. Use the applicant’s name exactly as it appears in their passport
3. Enter the email address that the applicant currently uses
4. Select "Teachers College - Columbia Univeristy" as the campus location
5. Select “no” when asked for an institutional university ID (a temporary id will be created)*
6. Select "no" when asked if you have a network ID.
7. A profile record has now been created.
8. Proceed to "Departmental Services" on the left side of the TC-Compass menu to make your request

DO NOT complete duplicate Add New Person eForms for the same individual.  Send an email to tcintl@tc.columbia.edu if an error has been made.

*UNI and TCID information will be sent to the visiting scholar after they check-in with the OISS
