Per Course Appointment Letter Process

Email notification

An email is sent to the per course faculty member with a link to MyMissouristate, instructions to locate the Workflow tab and the appointment letter in the Workflow tab, and to accept or reject or reject the appointment.

If the per course appointee is new to the university or no longer has an active university email account, the email will be sent to their primary email address, most likely a personal email account. The email includes instructions on getting or reactivating their computer access and email through the Computer Account Management System (CAMS).

 Email reminders will be sent to the Per Course faculty member every 7 days if the appointment letter hasn’t been accepted or declined.  

Status

Initiators can see the status of per course BearPAFs and the status of the appointment letter by the following:

• Looking the instructor up on Select Person (same function used to create the BearPAF) under Employee Information – Active PAFs
• Pulling an Argos report to check the status of all BearPAFs they have initiated and the associated appointment letters  

No action taken

If a per course faculty member has not taken action on their appointment letter within a reasonable period of time, please contact them just as you had in the past for unreturned paper appointment letters.

Direct them to CAMS to create their computer access and email account. If they are not going to accept the appointment, but don’t want to follow the online decline procedure, notify HRRecords@missouristate.edu.

Summary

It is essential that each per course instructor have an active email account and that they check their university email at least weekly. Each course assigned will generate its own appointment letter which must be accepted online. Resources on how to get university computer access and email accounts are available online on the human resources homepage under BearPAF Resources.
