Find Your Guide

The guides below will help you navigate My CV, whether you’re maintaining your profile throughout the year or completing your annual reports. The FAR and EIAR serve two different purposes, the FAR supports your Annual Faculty Merit Review, while the EIAR ensures compliance with BU’s Conflict of Commitment Policy, including federal reporting requirements. Both reports pull from the same My CV profile, so keeping it current benefits both. Step-by-step guides are available for maintaining your profile and completing the FAR or EIAR; a video walkthrough is also available for the FAR, if you’d prefer to watch rather than read.
