This section of the website is designed as a password-protected venue for providing useful internal resources to Notre Dame faculty, staff, and academic administrators.

Clicking on Faculty Hiring, Faculty Retirement Transition Program, Academic Program Reviews, or any of the other pages listed below will open a window that will ask you to enter your NetID and password. As such, we ask that you seek appropriate permissions before sharing any information from those pages with individuals external to the University.

If you are instead looking for general reference tools such as resources available to new faculty or the Faculty Handbook, please consult Information for Faculty; details on committees, including rosters and reports, can be found in Committees. Neither of these sections require a password and are thus accessible to all visitors to the site.

You are also of course welcome to contact the Office of the Provost directly with your questions.
