Introduction to Interfolio 

Interfolio is an online information management system that helps faculty organize and report their teaching, research, and service activities. It includes two main components: Interfolio FAR (Faculty Activity Reporting) and Interfolio RPT (Review, Promotion, and Tenure). The system is also connected to your Web Profile for easy data integration.

By storing your information in Interfolio, you only need to enter it once, making it simple to generate reports such as the Faculty Annual Activity Report (FAAR), promotion and tenure dossiers (CIF), your CV, and more. The platform is user-friendly and accessible anytime with an internet connection.

Please use this page and the embedded quick guides to explore and make full use of Interfolio’s features.  

Accessing Interfolio FAR

Interfolio uses Single Sign On technology with your SCSU Microsoft account. To access Interfolio:

•  Go to Interfolio
• Another way to login is to simply go to your SCSU My Apps page and select the "Interfolio" application under "Employee Apps".

Navigating Your Profile and Activities in Interfolio 

• Once logged into Interfolio, focus on the "Profile" and "Activities" tabs located on the left side of your screen. These sections allow you to view, edit, and update your activity information. The Profile tab contains essential components of your professional profile, organized into eight subsections for information storage. The Activities tab includes nineteen additional sections.

  Within both tabs, some fields will automatically populate, while others will require you to enter information manually or select an option from a drop-down menu.

Please view the Interfolio Profile and Activities Quick Guide.pdf for detailed information on using Interfolio. 

Web Profiles

Web Profiles provide faculty with a space to promote their professional activities, publications, grants, performances, and brief biographical information. 

• Go to or enter https://southernct.elsevierpure.com/ to access Web Profiles.
• Your Web Profile is automatically updated using information from specific subsections within Profile and Activities. To learn more about the specific sections in Interfolio that are pulled into your Web Profile please read the Interfolio Web Profiles Quick Guide.pdf

Please note: Web Profiles and Interfolio FAR provide LISTS of activities faculty engage in, whereas Interfolio Review, Promotion & Tenure (RPT) provides a REPOSITORY for the actual documentation of what was listed In FAR. 

Faculty Workload Verification Process

The Faculty Workload Verification process is a multi-step system of recording and verifying each faculty member’s current and accumulated workload credits in Interfolio. Under your "Activities" section, the following screens are used in the Faculty Workload Verification Process:  Scheduled Teaching, Non-Teaching Workload (Reassigned time, Sabbatical), and Credit Load History and Remainder.

The initial step is for department chairs to collect, check, and organize the workload data of their FT teaching faculty. A faculty workload credit report template has been created for this purpose. These reports help OIRA identify any corrections that need to be made in Interfolio. Next, department chairs are given Faculty Workload Summary reports. These reports reflect what is now in Interfolio. If chairs find discrepancies or missing data in Interfolio, they are to consult with the individual faculty member and the dean’s office to get the correct numbers. These newly reconciled numbers are then entered into Interfolio in the proper box by OIRA. After completion of this step, FT Teaching faculty will have the opportunity to confirm their information.

Faculty Annual Activity Report (FAAR)

Faculty are asked to track and report on their teaching, research, and service activities by entering data into Interfolio. Specific information is then pulled from designated fields and screens in Interfolio to create the Faculty Annual Activity Report.

The FAAR provides your department chair and dean with essential information to inform their reporting and decision-making and provides you with the opportunity to reflect on your accomplishments and challenges during the year. In addition, these reports will assist programs as they prepare for and undergo the program review process.

Faculty are asked to enter information into Interfolio on an ongoing basis so that their FAAR is completed by June 30^th of each year.
