Add/Edit Faculty
Faculty members can be added to Faculty Activity Reporting (FAR, Faculty 180) on an individual basis at any time, as compared to performing a bulk upload. In addition, a faculty member's basic information can also be changed as necessary.
Please note that if there is an error when adding or editing faculty, check out the FAR Error Message Glossary to better explain and clarify possible errors and how to fix them.
