 Subject: MASSMAIL - When to update Report of Non-University Activities

Thank you for your participation in the annual Report of Non-University 
Activities (RNUA) process.  If your external activities have changed since 
you last reported, please revise your RNUA form and submit it for review 
and approval by your unit head before you begin the external activities.  
If your external activities have not changed, no action is required.

If you are salaried faculty or academic staff, please be aware of the 
ongoing need to update your RNUA if your external activities change.  The 
University's Policy on Conflicts of Commitment and Interest requires prior 
approval for all non-university income-producing activities, as well as 
new activities, extensions or changes to previously approved outside 
activities.  Such changes or updates must be approved by your department 
head prior to the start of the external activity.

External activities are frequently beneficial to the individual and the 
university, but must be approved in advance, even if you plan to use 
furlough days to conduct the activity.

The RNUA form, instructions, and FAQs are available under the RNUA section 
at <http://www.research.illinois.edu/coi/form.asp>.  The policy is 
available at <http://www.vpaa.uillinois.edu/Policies/conflict_toc.cfm>.

This policy applies to salaried faculty and academic staff.  Civil Service 
employees are covered under a different policy and do not complete the 
RNUA.

If you have any questions about the RNUA or conflicts of interest, please 
contact Associate Vice Chancellor for Research Melanie Loots at 
mloots@illinois.edu or (217)333-0034. 

Thank you for helping to ensure that both you and the University are in 
compliance with the state law, University policy and federal regulations.
