Faculty Activity Reporting

Faculty Activity Reporting (FAR) is an online tool in Interfolio that gives faculty one place to keep their own record of teaching, scholarship, creative work, service, and professional activity. This fall, the Office of the Provost is piloting FAR with faculty volunteers and will use their feedback to shape the tool before FAR opens to all faculty in Spring 2027.

What FAR can do for faculty

FAR keeps a faculty member's record in one place. Course enrollments, advising loads, and graduate committees are loaded from Banner, scholarship can be imported from Google Scholar or PubMed, and a CV can be generated at any time, using a standard template or a custom option that lets faculty choose which entries appear. Information entered once can be reused whenever a CV is needed. FAR does not change the processes that ask for one, or who decides.

Join the Pilot

Faculty volunteers from across colleges and ranks, including non-tenure-track faculty, are invited to try FAR from mid-October through the end of November 2026. Joining the pilot is voluntary. Sign up by Sunday, 19 October 2026.
