What is the Purpose of the Faculty Research Experience and Expertise system (FREE) Pending Approvals page?
Designated college approvers will be responsible for reviewing Title request changes and approving or denying the requests. The requested Title will not be reflected and display in the FREE system until it is approved by the designated college approver.
Other important service details:
- An email message will be sent to the college designee with an alert of the Title change request. Once the college designee reviews and either approves or denies the request, the requestor will receive an email alert including the decision status.
