Help and Reference

• • If you’re unsure what action you can take in any one section, you can always enter a “?” to see your options.

Navigation

• • Enter “X” into the different PAR sections to edit the page, add a funding line, etc.
  • Where there is a plus sign (+) you can hit the space bar over that sign, and it will allow you to view/add information into that section.

Section 3, Biographical Data

• • Most of the biographical information (and other required documentation like reference letters) can be pulled from the candidate’s Interfolio information.
  • The only information you will have to ask the candidate for directly is their birth date and birth city.

• You can find the Job posting ID on Interfolio under the “positions” tab. Under the position’s title, the posting ID is listed as ID with a corresponding number.
• In the teaching section 6, the unique code is no longer required; however, if you have this information, you should list it in the PAR.
• If the faculty candidate is attending August orientation, you must include a line for their summer salary in section 2 (funding commitments) using an 03 sub account.
• All degrees a candidate earned must be listed in the biographical section 3. If the candidate earned a degree from a foreign institution, the institution may not have a FICE code in the system. If you cannot find an institutions’ FICE code, you will need to open a ServiceNow ticket with APS to ask them to create one. APS will need the official name, past name(s), and location of the institution as well as a link to their official website in order to create the code.
