Adding a New Appointment


There are two ways to manage faculty data in UC OATS; Faculty Data Import and manually managing faculty data. This article will focus on how to manually add a new faculty appointment. Please note, only one appointment can be primary and the sum of the faculty member's appointment across departments cannot be greater than 1.0 (100%). Also, faculty members cannot have two appointments within the same department. For example, if a faculty member is also a dean for the department, you would change the faculty type to a dean appointment (240 in 025 Context or 240 HSCP Context 671).
