FSAR Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FSAR?
It is an annual self-assessment report documenting teaching, scholarly and creative achievements, and service to the College.
Who should fill out an FSAR report?
All full time faculty, including Professors, Tenure-track professors, Visiting Assistant professors, Lecturers, Artists in Residence, who have taught in the 2019-2020 academic year are required to fill out an FSAR. This excludes adjuncts.
How can I access the FSAR?
It is available through the Faculty tab in FoxLink. You will find it at the bottom of the left side of the page under “Consent Approvals.” It is very important to hit the final submission button at the end of the report for it to be complete.
Current C.V.’s are also required by the Dean’s office. Please send an updated CV via email to the Dean’s office. Your FSAR will not be considered complete without a current CV submittal.
*Keep in mind any item you enter should only be entered one time. If it crosses between categories (teaching, scholarship, or service), it is up to you to make a decision which category is the better fit.
