Annual Faculty Evaluations
2021 annual evaluations will be completed in Interfolio. Interfolio is a faculty activities reporting software used widely throughout higher education that accommodates faculty evaluation and promotion and tenure reviews. The information entered will be both accessible and cumulative over time. For supervisors and reviewers, this format simplifies the review process and signatory workflow, eliminating the need for exchanging paper and applying signatures in ink.
Interfolio replaces Digital Measures for academic faculty, allowing members to build promotion and tenure packages by documenting role-related accomplishments (teaching, research, service) throughout the year. The self-evaluation portion of the annual evaluation is completed within Interfolio.
Interfolio allows administrative faculty members to prepare their self-evaluation, supervisors to provide input, and provides an automated review and approval routing process.

Course Evaluations
Due to an unforeseen emergency, quantitative evaluation results will not be completely uploaded into faculty Interfolio accounts until January 15. As a result, for 2021 annual evaluations, teaching evaluations will need to be shared with committees, chairs, et al. in the manner that you have used in the past, or faculty can upload PDFs of their evaluations from unr.edu/evaluate into their annual packet.
