Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question you would like to ask? Email us

When you nominate someone for the awards, and letters are required for the nominee, does the person nominating also write a letter or does the letters just come from other people?

That is up to the nominators. They can do a letter or just complete the form and get others to write the letters.

I have a question about The University Team Award for Excellence. It says that it is presented to a team primarily comprised of Classified Staff and Appointed Professionals. Are academic professionals considered appointed professionals?

Academic appointments are not eligible (teaching)

Fiscal appointments are eligible (non-teaching)

If you send us the names of the team members we can double check

I was told that appointed personnel and professors are not eligible for a staff award for excellence?

If they are listed as an Appointed Personnel and a teaching faculty member they are not eligible for the Staff Awards for Excellence even in the appointed personnel category. They are eligible for the Billy Joe Varney if they have been employed at the UA for 15 years.

Use the codes in PSOS to determine if they qualify. The codes are F and E (F=fiscal appointed and E= Faculty Academic appointed).

If a team consist of (C)lassified Staff, (F)iscal Appointment, (G)raduate Students, and (C)lassified Staff (non benefit eligible) are they eligible for the Team Award For Excellence?

Yes, they qualify as a team, but the monetary award will need to be transferred into a department account. They can not have the monetary award given to the individuals because the graduate student and the part time classified staff are not benefit eligible.
