Components of the Annual Review
The annual review comprises three essential components: the self evaluation, the MU Activity Report, and the Chair/Director evaluation.

1. Self Evaluation: Faculty must complete the self evaluation form, which provides essential context to the MU Activity Report. The self evaluation window opens across all colleges on December 1 and closes February 27.
2. MU Activity Report: Faculty are responsible for continuously updating their activities in myVITA, which automatically populates the MU Activity Report. This information can be updated year-round. Faculty should thoroughly review and finalize any desired input before the annual review period.
3. Supervisor Evaluation: The Supervisor, Chair, or Director assesses performance and provides formal feedback, guidance and ratings. Evaluation meetings are encouraged.

To meet the annual requirements, all components should be completed.

Faculty Response to Chair’s evaluation

When a faculty member makes a response to their supervisor’s evaluation, myVITA does not trigger or send any notification to the Chair/Director. The faculty response should be used by faculty to provide a formal recognition and receipt of their evaluation. Any additional comments deemed necessary to include on the official evaluation should be provided in the response.  Faculty that make a response and desire communication are encouraged to send their response to their Chair/Director via email and open a dialogue outside of myVITA.

Lenth of employment which requires annual review (in letter)

Faculty should be evaluated if employed any day in the year of the evaluation cycle.  Faculty members who are required to undergo an annual review, according to CRRs 310.015, 310.080, and 310.035, and have not completed a full calendar year of employment, should still be evaluated. Retired faculty are excluded from this requirement. This consistent approach ensures that each faculty member receives support. Even if their contributions to MU have been limited, they should still have the chance to report their activities and be reviewed.

The first step is for faculty to review and enter information into the Profile and Activities section of myVITA for the period for which they are being evaluated.
