Recommendations

  • Start early, especially creating the PDFs required.  Maintaining materials for your e-dossier should be a year-round process.
  • Ensure you can log-into your 2011-2012 e-dossier.
  • Attend hands-on Desire2Learn and e-dossier training.
  • If needed, ask for help early and often.
  • Remember that evaluations at APSU are cumulative; sorting new and previous materials in the e-dossier per academic year will help create a continuing record of achievement for retention, tenure, and promotion actions.
  • Use the last-minute checklist for final guidance.
