Contracts
Contracts for all contract-eligible, fiscal and academic faculty will be available electronically through the Faculty Data Self Service (FDSS) area of OneUSG Connect. Faculty are expected to gain access to their contracts for review, print and signature at the beginning of June each year.
Faculty are expected to sign their contracts within 20 days of receipt. Faculty members are encouraged to verify their login and access to OneUSG Connect and their Faculty Data Self Service before end of the spring semester.
As in past years, the contract administration process will begin with Budget Development. Units will have the ability to preview contract data before delivery to their faculty’s FDSS pages in the OneUSG Connect system. New and corrected contracts may be requested by the appointment unit’s business office after the first cycle of contracts are delivered.
The Office of Faculty Affairs and UGA’s OneSource Project have developed communication and training resources to support contract administration.
