UGA faculty are reminded that the Faculty Activity Report (FAR) will be decommissioned and replaced with a new mandatory reporting tool, UGA Elements, in the coming months.
The system will become the primary source of data regarding the research, scholarship, service, awards and honors of UGA faculty. Beginning in 2016, all UGA faculty will be required to use the system to facilitate the annual performance evaluation process.
To transition to the new system, faculty should cease to update the Faculty Activity Repository by June 15, 2015. Any information that has been included in FAR will be archived for current and future migration into the new system. UGA Elements is scheduled to launch in fall 2015.
Each college and school has identified an administrative liaison as an initial point of contact for UGA Elements. The administrative liaisons may designate additional contacts for each college and school. For questions, please contact your unit’s administrative liaison. A list of administrative liaisons is available at https://elements.uga.edu/contact.
More information about UGA Elements will be forthcoming and posted at https://elements.uga.edu.
