Submitting Faculty Activity Reports (FARs)

Updated 10/10/2024

Faculty Activity Reports (FARs) are used to guide the annual salary review process. As of academic year 2017-2018, all faculty members must submit their annual Faculty Activity Report (FAR) via Workday. The submission deadline and other details are available in the most recent FAR process memos for ladder and instructional (non-ladder) faculty.

For technical assistance with submitting your FAR in Workday, please email itsteam1@yale.edu and begin your subject line with “FAR”.  A dedicated IT support person will respond to your request.

For general questions about the FAR process, please email fas.dean@yale.edu.

FAR content

Please list or describe your activities and accomplishments for the calendar year. Your responses and updated CV will be considered by your academic unit chair and the FAS Dean’s Office, along with additional information from university records such as your appointment history, courses taught (with enrollments), leave history, certain university committees, and sponsored research (for ladder faculty).
