The TIED form is located in the Portal. Please jump to the applicable section for log in steps.

1. Log in to the Portal and go to the Faculty tab - Faculty Forms link:

2. Select the Total Instructional Employment Disclosure form link. 

The form is dynamic and displays information pertinent to your faculty type: 

Tenure Track Employees

A Tenure Track position = 15 units or 1.0 FTE in a particular semester, regardless of release time or reassigned time.

If you are performing any additional work beyond your normal appointment, you will be able to list it in the appropriate section of the Total Instructional Employment Disclosure form.

Tenure Track faculty cannot take on Stateside teaching appointments at other CSU campuses.

Lecturer Employees

Lecturers can teach in multiple departments on campus. Their employment in each department should be listed in units per semester.
At CSUN:

Lecturer appointments at CSUN must total no more than 15 units per semester. If a faculty member’s total units per semester is more than 15 units, please contact the Office of Faculty Affairs.
Across CSUs:

Lecturers can take on Stateside teaching appointments between different CSU campuses. The limit for a lecturer to teach between two or more CSU campuses in a semester is 18.75 units.

Non-Instructional Employees

A full-time non-instructional appointment is equal to 40 hours per week. Your appointment should be listed in the CSUN appointment section on the form. If any of your appointments are missing, you will be able to add them in another section.

Instructions:

On the Total Instructional Employment Disclosure form, any information in gray is read only information and cannot be edited or changed. As you begin to fill out the form and add additional appointments, if needed, the content of your form will dynamically open and close sections.

Proceed through filling out the form and all the required fields. 

The form requires all faculty to certify their information before submitting. Once all the required information is filled out and you have certified the information, the Submit button will illuminate. 

Are you a department chair or dean who processes the TIED forms? Please follow the instructions in the guide.

The OnBase Instructional Employment Disclosure Form Procedures for Supervisors guide provides information for Department Chairs and Deans who will review and approve the Total Instructional Employment Disclosure (TIED) form that faculty members submit through the CSUN Portal.

The Total Instructional Employment Disclosure process is completed through the submission of the TIED form by an employee. TIED is a CSU-System wide policy used to track the total employment of R03 and R11 employees.

WHO Completes the Form?

All R03 faculty submit the Total Instructional Employment Disclosure form online via the Portal. 

R03 Employees

• Tenured/Tenure Track Faculty
• Lecturers
• Temporary and Tenured/Tenure Track Counselors
• Temporary and Tenured/Tenure Track Librarians

NEW! Unit 11 (Academic Student Employees) no longer need to complete the TIED form!

WHERE Can I Find the Form?

The TIED form is located in the Portal. Log in to the Portal, select the Faculty menu at the top of the page. Select the Faculty Forms link in the menu (view the Open the TIED Form section).

WHEN Do I Complete the Form?

Before the first day of instruction each semester of the Academic Year (Fall and Spring). Forms are not required for Winter or Summer terms.

WHY Do I Need to Complete the Form?

The Unit-3 Faculty Collective Bargaining Agreement (Article 36) and the CSU System-Wide Additional Employment Policy (HR 2002-05) limit total employment in the California State University system to a total of 125%. View the Restrictions on Additional Employment. 

Only employees in the R03 and R11 units with a specific role will see the link.

• One reason you may not see the form may be that you have not been assigned the HR role yet. Please check with your supervisor to make sure you have been formally hired! Your supervisor can confirm with HR that the hiring process has been completed. (Please note, once the HR role is assigned, it will take an overnight process to complete, so check for the form link the next day.)

• An additional reason could be that your browser cache needs to be cleared. Please clear browser cache and log back in to access the form. 

Lecture and non-instructional employees can add their department information to the form, if needed. The form will display an extensive pick list of department values to choose from. Once the department is chosen, you'll be required to input additional required information. 

Please use Google Chrome 101 or greater.
