Annual Certification

---

This article provides an overview of the annual certification section of the workspace. Faculty members are required to file certification of adherence to the APM policy each fiscal year; even if they did not engage in any outside professional activities during the year. There are three Annual Certification reports available to you in OATS; "Forms not submitted", "Forms in process", and "Forms accepted".
