Guest Speakers

Per University policy, Summer Session cannot provide monetary compensation to guest speakers using state or federal funds.

Our office can, instead, provide a complimentary thank you bag containing UCSC and Summer Session merchandise as a token of our appreciation. There is a limit of up to three individual thank you bags per course, per session. 

What do you need to do?

• Submit requests for pre-approval through our Summer Guest Speaker Request Form.

We will mail thank you bag at the end of the summer quarter using the current mailing address for each speaker that you provided on the request form.

Travel Arrangements

• Visitors and guest speakers should make their travel arrangements to UC Santa Cruz. Submit the Summer Purchasing Request Form if you would like to request guest parking passes for their visit.  Please give us plenty of lead time during our busiest season.
