The Faculty Activity System (FAS) is a web-hosted system powered by Digital Measures' Activity Insight. FAS is the University's tool for tracking credentials, research activity, creative output, and service activity for instructional faculty. FAS enables faculty to enter scholarly achievements once for use in a variety of ways (department, college, and university level reporting, directory profile pages, faculty individual web pages, and more). FAS also provides a number of custom reporting options for faculty, including teaching history, publication history, vita, and NIH and NSF biographical sketches, among others.

Some of the information in FAS is imported from other authoritative systems and cannot be edited. Information such as highest degrees earned are used in external reporting and may not be edited by faculty users. If any of this information is incorrect, please e-mail fastech@odu.edu.
FAS data is refreshed directory profiles four times daily. Any information entered into FAS that has been flagged for display should appear on your profile after the next upcoming refresh.

If you have scholarly work in progress that has not yet published (but is submitted, or accepted with revisions, for example), you may enter that into the system and utilize 'publication status' to denote the stage of completion. When this status changes, the entry may be updated, rather than creating a new entry for the publication.
Some information may have been entered on your behalf by staff in your department or dean's office during the last SACS reaffirmation of accreditation, and may have been unknowingly duplicated when you entered the same activities into the system. Duplicates can be selected and deleted from index/summary screens.
The following items are automatically imported on your behalf:
- Name
- UIN
- Email address
- MIDAS ID
Information contained on certain screens may optionally be made available to the public.
