Faculty Success (FS) is Clemson University's faculty activity reporting system. It is used for both annual review and tenure & promotion.
As a librarian, your materials will be organized into three major areas: Librarianship, Research, and Service. For annual review, you will input a reflection statement for each major area and also input activities in each area that provide detail and context for the statement. After inputting your activities and reflection, generate a report in FS and send that document to your unit head, who will evaluate your librarianship. The Chair will generate a copy of your report to evaluate librarianship, research, and service.
Annual Review Activity Period: May 16, 2022 - May 15, 2023
Annual Review Faculty Success entry due date: June 15, 2023
To create new goals for May 2022 - May 2023, follow these steps:
All faculty under annual review must submit a pandemic impact statement. The statement should be less than 1000 words. The statement should be uploaded to DM following the steps on the Faculty Affairs page (linked below). Additionally, when you are submitting your annual review to your unit head, also submit your impact statement with your DM-generated report.
Refer to the documents on the Faculty Affairs page for more information:
In Workload/Goals:
In Activity categories, such as Faculty Development Activities Attended, Teaching, Research, Librarianship, Service or other categories that applied to you, do the activities that you wanted to report on appear in the "Annual Activity Report"? Create a "test" report under Rapid Reports.
If so, your annual report is completed.
If data you wanted to appear in the Annual Activity Report does not appear, chances are the dates on entries are not coded between May and May of the reporting year. Go into the activities to adjust the dates or add activities that you omitted. You might have also not limited the date of the report properly. Make sure it is set for the same May-to-May dates.
Communication. Provide the Annual Activity Report (for the year under review) to your immediate supervisor. Supervisors other than the Library Chair cannot view data of other faculty in FS.) You do not have to send reports to the Library Chair, because he can view all faculty profiles.
