Appointment Part-Time Faculty-EPAF

Project Scope:

Using the work of the 2011 Part-Time Faculty Appointment Team as a starting point, develop and implement an electronic appointment process for part-time faculty (Banner E-Class = PF) using the eContract/EPAF model. (Note that effective spring/early summer 2013, all EPAFs will be created by the Shared Services Center.) Create or modify existing reports, as needed, to meet the needs of end user departments, HR, and SSC. Create or modify documentation and training.

PROPOSED TIMELINE: February - April 2014; target is for electronic process to be used for Fall 2014 appointments
