The Faculty/AFIW Path(s) for Workflow field is a crucial field in Kuali CM as it allows the system to compute the appropriate workflow per proposal. 

The Faculty/AFIW Path(s) for Workflow field, with description.

The selection made in this field determines the workflow path that your proposal is sent to; specifically, which faculty or Affiliated and Federated Institutions of Waterloo (AFIW) will receive your proposal and be able to make an action on it. Think of this field as a required field to consider with every single proposal (note: we cannot actually make it required because some proposals skip faculties and AFIW completely).

Important: Multiple faculties and AFIW can be added to this field. When might you need to do this?

  • If your proposal needs to be submitted for review by two (or more) faculties, because it is a cross-listed course or a shared program/plan.
  • If your proposal is owned by an AFIW and the Faculty of Arts.
