All faculty members, including faculty in Specialist, Lecturer, Clinical, Adjunct, and Research Professor titles, are responsible for completing a Faculty Annual Report (FAR) of their academic and professional activities each year. Please advise the faculty members in your areas to prepare their reports for 2011-12 with care and submit them to the department chair/director on or before October 1, 2012. The report is an essential component of the annual merit review, the third-year review of tenure-track faculty, promotion review (all ranks) and periodic review of tenured faculty. A copy of the FAR is to be placed in the faculty member's personnel file at each administrative level (i.e., department, college, provost’s office).

DUE DATE to PROVOST & CoLA: October 5, 2012
Originals to Provost Office; 1 set of copies to the Dean's Office, c/o Ann Kelble; 1 set of copies remains in the department or center.
What to Submit:
1) Paper FAR form, signed by faculty member.
2) Instructional Activity Report (downloaded from FaSET**), if applicable.
3) Report of Thesis/Report/Treatise/Dissertation Supervision, Committees*, if applicable.
4) Office of Sponsored Projects Active Projects report*, if applicable.
5) Faculty-Issued Patents Report*, if applicable.
* distributed to departments/centers in September.
** How to download the Instructional Activity Report:
A. Log into FaSET.
B. Use left nav "Change Settings" to change semester/year to Summer 2012.
C. Choose "Print Reports" from the left navigation bar.
i. Choose your department.
ii. Select "Instructional Activities-annual" from the "Report List" menu (generates one report per faculty, includes all faculty).
iii. Don't remove or change your EID in the recipient field.
iv. Choose 'Both' printed and green output. You'll get the printed (desired) report from your mainframe output shelf (overnight job) and you'll get a (mostly unusable) electronic report to your webspace which you can use for reference. Or just go for print.
v. Run 2 copies (suggested). Helpful because you can distribute one batch to the individual faculty members to attach to their FARs and have one complete set in your faculty files for easy retrieval, as needed.
D. Submit and you're done!
If you have any questions, please contact Ann (aekcarr@austin.utexas.edu or 232-4820).
