It is recommended to update your activities periodically to stay on top of your professional accomplishments.
By default, activities entered into Faculty360 will be published on your public faculty profile unless specified otherwise. If you do not want an activity posted publicly, select No from the Publicly Displayed drop-down menu in the activity classifications.
4.1.1. Some campus departments are responsible for entering certain activities on behalf of faculty. Verify that this information is correct and contact the appropriate department if adjustments are required.

- After the census date, the Courses Taught at CSUF from 2008 to Present section will be populated with catalog data pulled from the campus student records and academic management system.
- The Office of Grants and Contracts will enter sponsored grants into the Grants section. Note that you may manually input non-sponsored grant and contract information yourself. Please contact the Office of Grants and Contracts if modifications need to be made to your sponsored grant entries.
- Twice a year, the Academic Senate will enter university and senate committee appointments into the Institutional Committees section. If the information listed here is incorrect, please check the committee list on the senate website, then contact the Academic Senate if updates are needed.
4.2.1. If Interfolio has found publication data matching you, you can view and approve these matches through the Matched Activities section of your Interfolio homepage. Approved matches will be listed in the Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity section of your portfolio.
Interfolio Data Service only pulls information about the following Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity publication types: books, book chapters, journal articles, and conference proceedings. If you need to enter a different kind of activity, view instructions on:
- importing activities from ORCID (all activity types)
- importing from Google Scholar or an external file (Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activities only)
- importing from Medline/PubMed or ARXIV (Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activities only)
- adding activities manually (all activity types)

4.3.1. You have the option to import activities that aren't caught by Interfolio Data Service. You can use ORCID, Google Scholar, Medline/PubMed, ARXIV, or an external file from your computer.
You can import into all activity sections that you have also recorded on ORCID. If you're importing from Google Scholar, Medline/PubMed, or ARXIV, you will only be able to import Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activities. Other activity fields will require manual input if not matched through Interfolio Data Service or importing from the platforms previously mentioned.
