What is Interfolio?
Interfolio is a module-based Faculty Information System that supports all stages of the faculty and academic professionals’ lifecycle at Lehigh.
Interfolio will:
- Be a central hub for faculty and academic professional information including CVs.
- Streamline processes that the Office of the Provost carries out in collaboration with other academic units.
- Integrate with key institutional systems to optimize data management and build operational efficiencies.
- Provide authorized users with self-service access to faculty data.
The Modules
The Interfolio project will be carried out in a phased approach. Lehigh will be implementing the Interfolio Faculty Information System product suite, which includes the following modules:
- Review, Promotion and Tenure (RPT) - Streamlines and centralizes data collection with electronic forms and workflows to support and track academic review processes from end to end.
- Faculty Search (FS) - Covers the entire academic recruitment process – including the job board and applications, applicant support, confidential letters and recommendations.
- Lifecycle Management (LM) - Manages scholar career paths, assists in the planning of upcoming faculty career milestones, and tracks academic appointments across the institution.
- Faculty Activity Reporting (FAR) - Provides a central hub for collecting and storing activity data and supporting materials including up-to-date CVs for all Lehigh academics.
