Faculty Work Plan

All VCU faculty are required to provide a work plan for the next calendar year which identifies specific goals in teaching, research, and service. This plan should indicate the percentage of your time allocated to teaching, research, and service. This plan will need to be approved by your chair and the dean’s office.


Due September 15, annually.
