H. Faculty Activity & Reporting (FPAR)

A. Purpose

The FPAR is a formative evaluation and method of documenting faculty work.

B. Schedule

The FPAR is updated and submitted annually to the departmental faculty evaluation site by Feb. 15 or in the fall semester of a promotion cycle. Faculty are encouraged to update it regularly in order to accurately capture work. Faculty may start a new FPAR form immediately following promotion or after a summative evaluation.

C. Contents

The FPAR includes a description of teaching, institutional engagement, and professional development goals and achievements with an explanation of the scope and impact of the faculty member’s contributions.

D. Process

The process is described below. 

Step 1: Update & Submit FPAR

Step 2: Supervisor Review & Contribution

  • Supervisors review the FPAR, note questions and areas for improvement in filling out the document, and add comments as necessary. The supervisor and faculty member discuss the FPAR and submit a draft with any revision.
  • If a supervisor is leaving their position, they must ensure a completed copy of each of their faculty member’s FPARs are stored on the Faculty FPAR, Promotion, Evaluation SharePoint site. It is the responsibility of the deans to ensure this occurs.
