Onboarding Checklist - New Faculty
UT systems access
Once APS receives the signed offer letter from a new faculty member and has accepted the PAR, the faculty member will have a “Future Faculty” appointment in Workday.
The future faculty appointment creates eligibility to gain access to UT systems and platforms; however, the faculty member will first need to upgrade their UT EID, which can be done either in person on campus, or online:
Canvas
Future faculty can get Canvas access as soon as both a) their appointment is in Workday, and b) they have completed FERPA compliance training, required every two years. For more information, including a link to online FERPA training registration, see Canvas - College of Education - University Wiki Service (utexas.edu).
UT email
Future faculty are also eligible for UT Austin Office 365 mailboxes. See Office 365 Mailbox Creation and Lifecycle.
For assistance, submit a help ticket to the COE Information Technology Office.
Orientation sessions
New faculty should plan to attend all three of the following orientations, which cover very different topics:
New Faculty Launch hosted by the Provost each fall (spring-start faculty should plan to attend the following fall)
This replaces the Center for Teaching and Learning’s New Faculty Symposium effective fall 2024
College of Education's New Faculty Orientation held each fall
Department processes - Tenured/tenure-track and professional-track
Dean's Office processes - Tenured/tenure-track only
