This Certificate Program is designed to provide employees with a comprehensive working knowledge of the Academic Personnel process at UCLA. Courses cover a variety of critical areas, such as the Faculty Review process; exceptions to policy and Chancellor approvals; affirmative action, recruitment and searches; and layoff and grievance procedures for academic personnel. Special emphasis is placed on processing academic actions related to specific series and using academic support materials, such as manuals, guides and other resources.
The Program is open to employees who are responsible for disseminating academic personnel related information or who prepare or approve academic actions. In addition, employees who wish to gain an understanding of the Academic Personnel process or who will act as backup to primary processors in their department are encouraged to attend.
