University of North Texas 
A courtesy researcher is a faculty member who is affiliated with the university, but who receives no salary, benefits, or other compensation from internal university resources. A courtesy faculty or courtesy researcher can be internal to the university (cross-departmental affiliation) or from another institution that participates in a joint program and receives a zero percent appointment for university resource access purposes.
A Visiting Scholar is not an employee of UNT or the UNT System. Visiting Scholars come to the University of North Texas on a temporary basis to collaborate on research and scholarly topics of mutual interests or to work on specific research to be conducted within University facilities.
