Annual and/or cumulative reviews are based on evidence uploaded to your faculty evaluation (Digital Measures or DM) file. Insufficient evidence to support the activities completed as well as how well the activities were completed may result in an “unsatisfactory” rating, a recommendation denying promotion and/or tenure, or a recommendation against continuation of your appointment. Only evidence in your DM file that is captured and submitted via a Faculty Productivity Report (FPR) by you will be reviewed. Evidence that is outside of your DM file will not be reviewed and will not count as evidence. December 31st is the University deadline for you to update and submit a FPR to your DM file for promotion and/or tenure cumulative reviews. Please note that colleges/schools/departments may have different deadlines for annual evaluation. Please speak with your dean/director/chairperson for appropriate dates.
General Tips
- You should not use the back arrow/button on their browser while using DM. Rather, you should use the “<” next to the title of each page within DM or click on “Activities” to go back to the main screen.
- When entering information, there is a “DUPLICATE” option, which is extremely useful
if the information for two activities is similar. You should click/check the
box to the left of the existing entry and click on “DUPLICATE”. You may modify
the appropriate information and then click “SAVE” in blue in the upper right-hand
corner.
-
IMPORTANT – DM does not validate that everything you have uploaded or submitted
is valid or complete. It is imperative for you to verify that everything has
been entered, uploaded and submitted appropriately.
- The DM system includes a function to create a CV for a faculty member, however the Provost’s Office strongly encourages you to create a CV outside of the system and upload the CV to your DM file.
