Policies and Procedures

Workplace policies clearly define an organization’s expectations regarding employee behavior and performance, and procedures provide guidance on how to implement those policies. When used together, policies and procedures give employees a well-rounded understanding of their workplace.

Clinical Compliance

The purpose of the UIC College of Nursing Faculty Clinical Compliance Policy is to protect the health and safety of our faculty, patients and clinical site staff.

Faculty Productivity

Faculty with an appointment of 50% or higher will have an annual evaluation of productivity that includes teaching, scholarship, service, and practice activities. This includes Clinical Instructors. The MyActivities reporting system is used by all colleges at UIC. In the spring of each academic year, nursing faculty members must complete their UIC MyActivities report for the previous calendar year and submit their annual productivity report to their Department Head for review. It is important that faculty maintain their teaching evaluations and other records throughout the year and maintain an up-to-date CV for submission as part of their annual evaluation.
