Faculty Emeritus:

To comply with UNC Policy 400.3.4 (Faculty Workload Policy) and 400.3.4[R] (Regulation on Faculty Workload), and N.C. A&T AP321 Faculty Workload Policy, N.C. A&T requests that faculty submit their workload plans through Interfolio. Doing so not only helps N.C. A&T meet its reporting requirements to the UNC System, but also enables us to more effectively showcase the valuable contributions of our faculty to legislative stakeholders.
