Non-tenure Track Specialists or Other Such Positions
If your department has non-tenure track personnel, such as Extension Specialists, who the department considers faculty and would like for those individuals to show in the faculty group on the department’s website, please make sure in IRIS to have them listed as “3 – Not on Tenure Track” under Tenure ID (options shown to right).
If your department is hiring a new non-tenure track position, please make note to include this step in the process of setting them up in IRIS.
If your department does not want these individuals to show in the faculty group, they will need to be listed as “0 – N/A” under Tenure ID.

Self-Funded Graduate Students
Graduate students not showing up as they should on the faculty/staff listing? Graduate students not on an assistantship or otherwise not paid by the department are not in IRIS as paid employees. We have determined the best way to capture their information and present them on our websites is to add them in IRIS as a “Friend of the University”.
When adding a student(s) as a “Friend of the University” in IRIS, create a position titled “FR-GRA Student” and transfer or add all students not on assistantship to that position (keeping position number the same for all).
