3. Upload the Cumulative Evaluation

Committee chairs should navigate to the “Case Details” tab to complete the required documents. A number will appear next to the “Case Details” tab that indicates how many tasks require completion.

Note – If a case is routed to you and you do not see a number next to “Case Details” then you are a committee member. Only committee chairs have the ability to submit documents and forms and move the case forward. At the bottom of the Case Details screen you can also see a list of members and chairs (designated as committee managers).

The committee chair may also want to select and attach the recommendation form in the email message when sharing the Cumulative Evaluation if the recommendation is not apparent within the evaluation.
