Large volumes of Graduate Assistant and Faculty Reappointments must be completed each semester. The Mass Appointments process aids by allowing you to reappoint more than one employee at a time.

Summer 2023 Graduate Assistant Mass Appointments

Summer 2023 appointments should have a minimum appointment period of at least five (5) business days before the first day of classes through the last day of finals, as outlined in the academic calendar.

Summer 2023 Faculty Mass Appointments      

With the exceptions noted below, the OMNI HR online Mass Appointments process will produce summer salaried appointments for 9-month and 10-month faculty needing E&G, Auxiliary, and Contract and Grant appointments. Most salaried summer appointments, including existing appointments, should be entered into the OMNI HR "Enter Mass Appointments" screen by staff in each Dean's, Director's, or Vice President's office. 

Faculty on Leave

Faculty members currently on a paid or unpaid leave of absence (including sabbaticals) will not be included in the Mass Appointments screens. Please submit a pPAF to return these faculty members from leave and appoint them for the summer. 

Visa Tab

Note the "Visa" tab on the Faculty Mass Appointment screen. If a faculty member's work authorization information is not current in OMNI HR, you will not be able to appoint the faculty via Mass Appointment. Instead, send the updated work authorization documents and an ePAF to Human Resources to complete the summer appointment. Attach the work authorization to the ePAF.
