November 30 visa request tool update

On Wednesday, November 30th, OAP will update our visa request tool

This update will involve the following changes:

  • On the H Visa Request Form:
    • New required uploads for published ad and offer letter for positions eligible for permanent residence sponsorship; these uploads will allow us to request prevailing wage determinations and track green card filing deadlines earlier.
  • On the J Visa Request Form:
    • Questions regarding the English proficiency requirement have been removed on J visa requests for extensions or other changes for existing UW J-1s.

No other changes will affect the unit administrator or scholar unit experience. There will be no scheduled outage for this update.

Contact acadvisa@uw.edu with any questions.

September 9 Visa request tool update

On Friday, September 9, OAP will update our visa request tool. To perform the update there will be a scheduled outage from noon-1pm when the tool, including visa request forms, will be unavailable.

One new field, “Grants/contracts funding the position, if any,” will be added for J-1 visa requests. No other changes will affect the unit administrator or scholar unit experience. Please be sure to use the updated J Visa Intake Form to capture this new required information.

Contact acadvisa@uw.edu with any questions.

Preparing for the 2022-23 P&T Cycle

Step 1 – Mandatory P&T: Academic HR (AHR) shares with dean/chancellors’ offices  lists of academic personnel for whom, according to Workday, a mandatory promotion/award of tenure decision must be reached during the 2022-23 academic year.

Dean/chancellors’ offices must review this list for accuracy and note any discrepancies using the new limited-access shared folder system. If there are any discrepancies in the list, contact AHR immediately with corrections.

Step 2 – Non-Mandatory P&T: Dean/chancellors’ offices must populate the 2022-23 Expected Non-Mandatory Template with the names of all academic personnel being considered for non-mandatory promotion in the 2022-23 academic year. These templates can be found in the new limited-access shared folder system.

Collecting these names prior to receiving non-mandatory P&T records is critical for accurately tracking cases throughout this process. Templates should be completed  before September 9, 2022 (October 21 for UW Libraries).

Step 3 – Candidate Materials: Reach out to candidates and ensure all their materials are up-to-date.

IMPORTANT: An updated CV and a complete record of peer and student teaching evaluations must be included in the P&T record.

Step 4 – Workday Records: Unit administrators should use the Pre-Record Submission Workday Checklist to ensure Workday fields are complete and correct for all academic personnel being considered for promotion and/or tenure.

Step 5 – P&T Checklist: Use the 2022-23 Promotion and Tenure Recommendation Checklist to ensure all materials are included in each P&T record. Attach a copy of the completed checklist as the cover sheet for all mandatory, non-mandatory and non-mandatory early P&T records.

Note: Contents of each P&T record must be arranged in the order outlined on the checklist.

Dean/chancellor’s office administrators should review the P&T Submission User Guide prior to submitting completed P&T records.
