PAR DOC ID

ID Components

  • Each PAR has a unique eleven-digit document number similar to 90-FPN-999888.
  • The second digit, 0, refers to the component (ie. the specific University of Texas campus), which in the case of UT Austin is component 0.
  • The next three digits refer to the document type.
  • The last six digits fall in decreasing order as each new PAR is created throughout the fiscal year.

Four Types of FP* Documents

  • FPN-The request to hire professional-track faculty in all academic units, and the request to hire tenure-track faculty in departmentalized colleges.
  • FPX-The request to hire tenure-track faculty in a non-departmentalized college
  • FPT-The request to hire tenured faculty
  • FPR-The request to hire research faculty (Research Assistant Professor, Research Associate Professor, and Research Professor).


The Department of Neurosciences primarily processes FPN documents.
