By default, Internal Sections of a case are only available to administrators, committees and other individuals involved in the review.  All forms completed and documents uploaded by reviewers will be organized in the Internal Sections.  In some instances, files can be shared with the candidate from those sections.  The case will define exactly what is required of the reviewer when it is in their queue – reviewers can view requirements on the Case Details tab.  Review the technical guidance for committees and reviewers provided on the Advancement in Title webpage to ensure you are uploading requirements into the correct sections.

Unit personnel committee chairs, unit administrators and deans will record their recommendations with an electronic form.  A copy of the form will be automatically uploaded to the Recommendations section.  Memos created by the unit can be uploaded to this section.

Additional Reviewer Documents is an optional section where reviewers can upload correspondence or other supporting documentation in support of the recommendation.
