New Consulting Form Available
Dear colleagues,
We’re writing to let you know that the new faculty consulting form is now available in the InfoEd system.
Access to the consulting form can be found via the Faculty Consulting website on the “Forms” page: https://consulting.uconn.edu/forms/. This page also includes a link to the old form, which will continue to be used for activities up to June 30, 2022, and to reconcile requests from fiscal year 2022.
Please be sure to consult the training materials that are available on the website, here: https://consulting.uconn.edu/training-materials/. PDF guides and short videos cover how to use the new form, including how to approve requests in InfoEd. We have worked with several faculty to test the form and help determine what guides and resources are most helpful.
If you have additional questions after consulting the training materials, I will be available to help with any issues. The best way to reach me is via email or a message in Microsoft Teams. Faculty who have helped us test the form have found it easy to create and approve requests, and in most cases, their questions have been supplemented by the guidance in the PDF and video resources.
In the Storrs/regional form you will also see that the end of the next reporting year for consulting has changed to May 22. We have draft policy changes we anticipate will be updated this summer that will change the consulting reporting year to align with the contractual year for faculty. This will mean that requests for work done during the summer will no longer have to be duplicated into two separate requests.
Best wishes,
Sarah Croucher
Director of Academic Policy & Faculty Affairs (Faculty Consulting Office, Storrs/Regionals)
