Override Faculty Thresholds

This article explains how reviewers can override department‑configured time and earnings thresholds for faculty in UC OATS.

Note: 
  • Only Reviewers with the Faculty Status Change role can update a faculty member’s time threshold.
  • When a faculty member exceeds their time threshold, their earnings threshold is locked. In this case, the earnings threshold cannot be overridden, in accordance with UC policy.

When to Use an Override

Use a threshold override when a department needs to manually adjust a faculty member’s configured threshold, either higher or lower, to reflect departmental requirements or corrections.

  • Applies to APM‑025 and APM‑671 faculty
  • Cannot exceed policy‑defined maximums:
    • 312 hours for APM‑025
    • 384 hours for APM‑671
  • Updates the allowed time displayed on the faculty member’s dashboard

If the faculty member exceeds the updated threshold, UC OATS will generate a new Request to Exceed Time Threshold form.
