Per Course BearPAF Facts

• Notice of new approvals will arrive once every 24 hours. Any workflow that is in the approval process seven days or longer will generate a reminder notification to the approver.   
• Appointment letters will be generated and an email will be sent to the Per Course Instructor after the Dean’s approval.
• BearPAF’s will now need to be initiated for each individual course.

Contact information

Please encourage all per course to check their university email at least weekly for important information.
