Faculty Handbook 3.3 describes the standards and processes for the periodic evaluation of faculty. Periods of review and forms for FAR may differ by rank and school, but the following University forms are used for the review of Academic Year Adjunct Lecturers, required at least every three years of continuous service and, for Adjunct Lecturers on multi-year contracts, prior to reappointment:

Faculty in all schools and departments have an Interfolio account, accessible from the Interfolio tile on your MySCU single-sign-on portal. This account is accessible to you 24/7/365, so that you can upload and update your materials incrementally.

For processes and departments that use Interfolio for review, the Provost's Office builds a "case" from your uploaded materials about a month before your process deadline, pulling in materials from the relevant period automatically. You have the month to review your system-generated vita and packet, to be sure that it captures the correct materials and presents them in a way that best showcases your work.

Interfolio guides for candidates and reviewers are linked at each process (FAR, Lecturer Reappointment, MPR, Promotion to Senior Lecturer). Here are some additional guides for general processes:

 
 

Our Interfolio page has user guides for all processes, FAQs, and information about the choice of Faculty180/Interfolio.

All departments and schools use Interfolio for certain processes:

  • Lecturer Reappointment
  • Promotion to Senior Lecturer
  • MPR

Several departments and schools have been piloting the use of Interfolio's Faculty180 module for FAR Reports for the past several years, with a plan to extend the use to all departments for FARs in AY23-24:

    School Departments        School Departments
  Arts & Sciences Anthropology
Communication
English
Environmental Studies
  Engineering Applied Math
Bioengineering
Civil, Environmental & Sustainable Engineering
General Engineering
  Business All departments   JST All faculty
  ECP Both departments   Law

Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET)

SET Reports are emailed to faculty soon after each term concludes. We recommend that you upload your SET reports to the related course sections in Faculty180 when you receive them each term. If you lose the emailed reports, you can download your reports from evaluations.scu.edu, but the online version will not have any narrative comments the students might have added.
