ALL ACADEMICS AND STAFF AT UC SAN DIEGO

SUBJECT:    UC OATS Introduction to UC San Diego

In partnership with the campus Enterprise System Renewal (ESR), we are
pleased to announce the upcoming launch of University of California
Outside Activity Tracking System (UC OATS). UC OATS is a multi-campus
collaboration used across the UC system as a new and efficient way for
faculty, deans, and faculty administrators to track, manage, and
annually certify outside professional activities. Replacing the current
paper process, UC OATS is an interactive web-based system that
facilitates the reporting of outside professional activities and
determines appropriate review and approval requirements. This allows
users to easily comply with the University of California, Conflict of
Commitment policies: General Campus and Scripps Institution of
Oceanography faculty (APM 025), Health Sciences Compensation Plan
participants (APM 671), Deans (APM 240), and Faculty Administrators (APM
246).
