Faculty Information System
The Faculty Information System (FIS) is a web-based utility for automating and simplifying the process of updating and reporting faculty information. Faculty members can log in to a secure website utilizing a standard browser and update their personal data throughout the year. The Faculty Information System then pushes out the data to the respective faculty pages on the websites and rolled up into various internal reports.
The Faculty Information System's ease of use and its dynamic features reduce the amount of staff time needed to keep this information up-to-date. The Faculty Information System allows each department to customize reports across a variety of performance categories, greatly simplifying the ability to compare faculty productivity and to provide a more efficient means of reporting.
