Coming Soon:
Annual Activity Reports for faculty will be completed in UR Faculty for School of Arts & Sciences, Hajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences, and Eastman School of Music starting in 2026.
Faculty Affairs Officers (FAOs) for the three schools noted above will be able to access and prepare activity reports in UR Faculty starting in November 2025. FAOs will initiate the process, and faculty members will then use UR Faculty for annual activity reporting starting in January 2026.
This change will provide several benefits for faculty, including the ability to:
- Enter activities year-round rather than only once per year
- Customize workflows/approvals by school
- Create and customize CVs, which can be used for applying for grants/awards
Additionally, most books, articles, and publications that faculty have produced can be pulled into the system. UR Faculty is also integrated with other systems, such as:
- UR Student (for course information)
- Helio Campus (for evaluations)
- IORA (for grants)
- Data Warehouse
Training and Support Resources
A comprehensive user guide and online MyPath modules will be available for both FAOs and faculty members.
Additionally:
- FAOs will receive an invitation to a live Zoom training session on November 7 at 10 a.m. The session will be recorded.
- Faculty can also attend a live Zoom training session on January 9 at 10 a.m. Details will be shared as the date gets closer.
Help text and a chatbot virtual assistant will be available as part of the UR Faculty system. Support hours will also be available by appointment beginning in January.
