Removing Existing Appointments

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 remove an existing faculty appointment. Please note, an appointment can only be removed if it is NOT the primary appointment. If it is the primary appointment, you must set a new primary appointment before you can remove the appointment. Deleting a faculty's appointment does not delete the faculty member from UC OATS. To learn more about separating an faculty member, visit the Annual Certification (Separated Faculty) article.

1. Click on the "App Admin" button to open the Application Administrator workspace.
