Faculty Activity Reports

Activity Insight (also known as Faculty Success, Digital Measures, DM, AI or FAIS), is a software-as-a-service application, provided by Watermark, used for the reporting of faculty activities. Activity Insight has proven to be an effective answer to the needs associated with conducting annual reviews (Faculty Activity Reports, AC-40’s) and for creating both promotion and tenure (P&T) and non-tenure track promotion dossiers. Additional benefits of the system originate from the fact that the information on faculty activities is stored in a highly structured database and, therefore, can be harvested and reformatted using user-specified criteria.

Please see the 2022 University College Guide for Activity Insight PDF for further assistance.
