3) Reminder about Electronic version of Faculty Activity Reports.
In the December Unit Head mailing, we asked you to please note an important change: Instead of units forwarding hard copies of FARs, faculty vitas, and workload plans to the Dean’s Office in March, as in past years, this year the Dean’s Office wants only electronic versions of these documents. Each department should submit one CD with all FARs for tenured/tenure track faculty members. One CD with all workload plans. Please submit these CD’s to the Dean’s Office (312 PAD) by March 14 along with the Unit Head summary of the salary evaluation for each faculty member.
All vitas are due to us on CD at the end of W08 semester as previously arranged.
These are the final deadline dates that grades are due to be assigned online in Banner, as provided by Sharon Hall in the Records Office:
Winter Midterms: Feb 26th, by Noon
Winter Finals: April 29th, by Noon
Sp/Sum 1st 6 weeks: June 23rd, by Noon
Sp/Sum 2nd 6 weeks: August 11th, by Noon
Please note, it is too early to pinpoint the dates when Banner will be open for grading - that info will come later. These are simply the deadline dates.
