What is required for the Academic APD Process?
The following guides have been created to assist with the completion of the APD in Workday:
1. APD Preparation
Prepare for the APD process by reviewing and updating the enhanced Individual Activity Profile (IAP).
The Individual Activity Profile (IAP) page is a 'one-stop-shop' that provides each academic staff member with a suite of data articulating their academic contribution and output relevant to academic achievement.
Individual Activity Profile (IAP) enhancements explained
The Individual Activity Profile is data drawn from existing corporate systems (where available) and is placed together in one easily accessible location. Please refer to this IAP data sources and summary table should you require assistance.
Additional metrics may be useful to help demonstrate your academic contribution as part of your APD. This information can complement the data available via your IAP. Please see the following library page for further information.
