Information for Faculty
By design, the Office of the Provost serves as something of a clearinghouse for University information pertinent to faculty, ranging from those who have just arrived on campus to longtime members of the Notre Dame community.
If you are looking for general reference tools such as resources available to new faculty or the Faculty Handbook, there is a good chance this section will have what you need.
If, on the other hand, you are in search of specific forms, guidelines, or reports, you should visit either Guidelines, Reports, & Admin Tools or, in the case of committee findings, Committees. (Note that accessing Guidelines, Reports, & Admin Tools will require you first enter your NetID and password.)
Please also feel free to consult the Office of the Provost contact list, which offers guidance on where to direct more detailed inquiries, and the list of frequently requested resources below.
