• • If the faculty candidate is attending August orientation, you must include a line for their summer salary in section 2 (funding commitments) using an 03 sub account.

Section 3, Biographical Data

• • Most of the biographical information (and other required documentation like reference letters) can be pulled from the candidate’s Interfolio information.
  • The only information you will have to ask the candidate for directly is their birth date and birth city.
  • All degrees a candidate earned must be listed in section 3.
    • If the candidate earned a degree from a foreign institution, the institution may not have a FICE code in the system.
    • If you cannot find an institutions’ FICE code, you will need to open a ServiceNow ticket with APS to ask them to create one. APS will need the official name, past name(s), and location of the institution as well as a link to their official website in order to create the code.
