Who is UFIS?

Open

We strive to provide innovative platforms for data collection for university reporting purposes. Our team is dedicated to building systems that are useful, usable, and efficient.

As a service to incoming full-time faculty, UFIS works with departments 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.

What is U-CV?

The University CV System (U-CV) is a web-based faculty information system designed to be a central platform for faculty to capture their professional activities and accomplishments.

Why U-CV?

  • Faculty profiles on School of Medicine department pages

• Used for Faculty Appointment, Review, and Advancement (FARA) process.

  • The CV provides the major evidence used during the evaluation of candidates for promotion. Therefore, accurate and complete reporting of contributions and achievements in the CV is essential.

Tips

• When pasting text into fields that allow rich text (e.g. bold, italics, underline), use Ctrl+Shift+V (Cmd+Shift+V on a Mac). This strips all formatting from the original copied text.

• If you need to add text on a new line in fields that allow rich text formatting, use Shift+Enter (Shift+Return on a Mac) to add a line break.

• You can self-report demographic info (gender, place of birth, ethnicity) under the Personal menu heading.

  • Basic Information - gender, ethnicity, birthplace

  • Citizenship

• If you have an assistant that will be helping you keep your information up to date in the U-CV system, make sure to provide this information when asking them to add something to your CV:

  • The name of the U-CV category or SOM CV category it should be entered under.

  • For service activities, provide your role (e.g. Member), organization/entity, committee name.

  • Start date and end date (if necessary).
