eWPAF Container Creation Process for Lecturers
Note: eWPAF containers for lecturers, supervisors, and lecturers whose primary duties are not teaching are located in Community.
Process:
- At least five weeks prior to when the WPAFs are due, the designated Dean’s Office Staff (DOS) will
send to IDS (cchelp@csusm.edu) an Excel sheet of eWPAF containers to be created for that term. See DOS Template
below.
- There should be separate sheets for lecturers, supervisors, and lecturers whose primary duties are not teaching.
- In Fall, the lecturers sheet should include those on fall one-semester appointments, those with full-time one-year appointments, those eligible for an initial three-year appointment, and those in year three of a three-year appointment.
- In Spring, the lecturers sheet should include those on spring one-semester appointments and those on part-time one-year appointments.
- IDS will batch create containers, bulk enroll owners, and notify the DOS of completion within 2 business days.
- DOS will then notify faculty members that eWPAF containers are available in Community.
- DOS will remove faculty member’s role and add reviewers to each eWPAF container at the appropriate date.
- DOS member will remove reviewers and re-add the faculty member’s role when the review period has ended.
Notes:
- Please see the official timetable for periodic evaluation of lecturers each academic year for specific dates.
- eWPAF containers will not be individually created prior to the bulk creation process. Faculty wishing to get a head start can collect materials into folders on their computer or in cloud storage for later upload to their eWPAF container.
- If it is less than five weeks until the due date and the faculty member does not see
their container, they should contact their DOS.
- If the list has not yet been sent to IDS, DOS will send the list.
- If the list has already been sent to IDS and the faculty member was not on the list, or there is a problem, DOS will contact IDS to resolve.
- If the faculty member does not see a past eWPAF container, they should contact their DOS to restore their access.
- The Dean’s Office will alert IDS when a new DOS is designated.
