What's the latest news on eFARS?

eFARS is undergoing a major overhaul! We think you will be impressed with the improvements. The format is no longer based on the Promotion and Tenure guidelines. It has been reorganized based on comments from faculty in all mission areas of the college making it more streamlined and user friendly.

The revised eFARS system will be available on December 1, 2007. Departments are currently reviewing the list of faculty in their units that should have access to the eFARS system. If you should have access and don't, contact your department or the eFARS Help Desk.
