U-CV is a web-based electronic CV tool used to generate your CV in a standard format used at the University of Utah. The data entered in the system can additionally be used to populate online profiles and generate activity reports.

As a service to incoming full-time faculty, our office, University Faculty Information & Support (UFIS), works with department faculty coordinators to do the initial CV entry into U-CV for Tenure-line and Career-line faculty. Responsibility for keeping information up to date in U-CV is then turned over to the faculty member.

NOTE for fields that allow rich text formatting (e.g., bold, italics, underline)

  • Use Ctrl+Shift+V (Cmd+Shift+V on a Mac) when pasting into a field that allows rich text formatting. This strips all formatting from the original copied text.

  • If you need to add text on a new line, use Shift+Enter (Shift+Return on a Mac) to add a line break.

 Logging in to U-CV

  1. Log in to the U-CV application with your uNID and CIS password.

  2. To see the information already in the system click on Reports and My CV. Then click Run CV. The SOM CV does not show all CV categories available in U-CV. The Master Display CV format is meant to show all CV categories in U-CV, but we are in the process of adding them.

  3. Categories are separated into different types of activities (e.g. Research, Teaching). Click on a menu heading to view available categories in that section. You can also use the CV Category Search field.

    The SOM CV to U-CV Map is a great resource that shows which categories show on the SOM CV format and where activities can be entered in U-CV to show under a specific category.
