After uploading the appropriate volume to all required review packet sections it is time to submit your review packet and begin the evaluation process.
As the faculty member under review, you are required to submit ALL sections of your review packet even if you have not uploaded any documentation to a certain section.
All review packet sections must be submitted by the annual submission deadline. The due date for your review packet will change depending on whether your evaluation is due in the Fall or Spring Semester, but you can always reference the following places to find your submission deadline.
- The instructions within your review packet
- The Part-time Lecturer, Full-time Lecturer, or Range Elevation pages of the FAR website
There are three methods available to submit your review packet, choose the one that best fits your preferences.
- Submitting one section at time
- Submitting groups of sections at a time
- Submitting all sections at once
Once any or all review packet sections have been submitted by the faculty member under review, the sections become locked. The faculty member is unable to add or edit documentation within the submitted section(s).
If the minimum number of required documents has not been met for a review packet section, you will not be able to submit it until the requirement is met.
Each section within a review packet has a blue "Submit" button built into it. When the minimum number of required documents has been uploaded to the review packet section the button becomes active.
Pressing the submit button will only submit the section where the button was located. This action causes a permanent change to your review packet and so will require confirmation every time you click an active submit button.
Before you submit, make sure to preview your uploads to check for mistakes or formatting issues. You can do this by clicking the "preview" button in any section.
Next to each section within a review packet there is a little checkbox. When the minimum number of required documents has been uploaded to the packet section(s) you can click the checkbox next to each one and submit checked section(s) together at one time. This is done by clicking the "submit sections" button at the top of the review packet.
Only the sections that have their check boxes checked and minimum number of required documents will be submitted as a result of clicking "submit sections". This action causes a permanent change to your review packet and so will require confirmation every time.
Before you submit, make sure to preview your uploads to check for mistakes or formatting issues. You can do this by clicking the "preview" button in any section.
At the top of the review packet there is a small checkbox that will allow you to select all un-submitted review packet sections for submission. The minimum number of required documents needs to uploaded to the packet section(s) for submission to be successful. Submission occurs when you click the "submit sections" button.
This action causes a permanent change to your review packet and will require confirmation.
Before you submit, make sure to preview your uploads to check for mistakes or formatting issues. You can do this by clicking the "preview" button in any section.
When you don't upload the minimum number of required documents to a review packet section, Interfolio prevents the submission capability from becoming active.
You will need to upload at least one document to each review packet section that has a requirement. If the required document is not pertinent to your job responsibilities, then upload a statement with that information to the section in question.
This has a double benefit of fulfilling the requirement and letting your evaluators know why you didn't submit anything for a particular document category.
How to look for a requirement
Each review packet section has its requirements listed in the section details
Sometimes after you have submitted an Interfolio review packet you will be contacted by your Department Chair regarding missing material from your packet and the opportunity he or she is extending to add it before the packet passes into the DPRC evaluation stage.
