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 |
