Introduction
Beginning in the Spring of 2023 a new system for recording faculty activity will be introduced. This software allows faculty to identify their various types of workload, including teaching, scholarship, research, creative activity and service. Each year, faculty will complete their report and this information will be shared with the Provost Office or others, if you choose. Please see the VIUFA - VIU collective agreement, LOA #12 for further background.
Faculty Success – the Software
Faculty Success allows faculty to report activity and use that data to organize and create reports. The software allows faculty to organize information and pull data to create CVs, annual reports, accreditation reports and promotional documents. Faculty can upload their own data, pull reports and create CVs directly within Faculty Success. There is also additional web profile option that faculty can engage using the data that has been uploaded to Faculty Success.
How to Use Faculty Success
Step 1
Log in to Faculty Success
Step 2
Once you are logged in, you will see a FIPPA statement. Please note, this statement will only appear the first time you log in. Click “I Accept” to continue.
Step 3
Very Important: Once you have logged in and accepted the FIPPA statement, add the Faculty Success homepage to your bookmarks.
We recommend you take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the screens available (for example, Administrative Data, Career Information, etc.).
To access a screen, simply click the screen name. The resulting summary screen displays records that are stored for that screen. There are several actions you can take from the resulting screen (not all of these actions will be available):
- To add a new record, click Add New Item.
- To import items in bulk, click Import Items (available only on the Intellectual Contributions screen).
- To edit or view a record, click anywhere in the record row on the summary screen.
*Note: Your Faculty Accomplishments Administrator may have added records to the system for you. These records can be viewed, and in most cases, edited. However, some fields may have access restrictions and therefore cannot be edited. If revisions are needed to restricted records, contact your Faculty Accomplishments Administrator using the Help link.
