ANNUAL FACULTY PERFORMANCE EVALUATION (FPES)
Annual faculty evaluations (FPES) are conducted in late spring of every year. All faculty, full- and part-time, are required to complete the annual evaluation this year in the Faculty Success online platform. Your faculty self-evaluation (review materials) must be submitted via the Faculty Success-Faculty Performance Evaluation System (FS-FPES) to your department chair or to your dean (in schools without departments). Faculty can regularly input their activities in Faculty Success throughout the year. This will facilitate preparation for self-evaluation during the FPES. Learn more about FPES here.
