My CV User Guide – Faculty Annual Report

1. My CV Introduction

This User Guide provides details for navigating to, reviewing and adding to your Faculty Annual Report (FAR) in My CV. There are additional User Guides for other functionality, such as navigating and modifying your profile, scholarly and creative works, teaching activities and professional activities (service). These can be found on the Training and Support page of the My CV Project Website.

Overview – Faculty Annual Report (FAR)

The Faculty Annual Report is an exercise to capture and review faculty activity information from the past calendar year.

Eligible activities (scholarly and creative works, grants, teaching activities, and professional activities) from your My CV profile will automatically pull onto your FAR report. You will need to provide some additional information (overall comments, leaves, advising, and works in progress) within the FAR itself.

Annual reports will then follow a chain of review, according to the internal processes of each school/college, before final submission to the Office of the Provost.
