MyAppraisal launches next week for Professorial and Academic, Research and Teaching staff

What to expect

On 13 February, all appraisees for the Professorial (Non-Clinical Professors, Professors (Teaching), & Professorial Research Fellows) and Academic, Research, and Teaching pathways will be automatically assigned an appraisal. An email notification will be sent from noreply@ucl.ac.uk with a link to MyAppraisal.

Please note that appraisers will have no actions to complete for their appraisees until they have received a Part A submission. 

Find out more about how to prepare with the key information for appraisees and appraisers. For professorial staff who have used the system before, find out what’s new for 2025.

Clinical staff

For this first year, all those on clinical staff codes will follow the Academic, Research, and Teaching pathway. This does not include Consultant Clinical Academics who should continue using current processes whilst further discovery work is ongoing to better understand their needs for appraisals.

Integration of evidence data within MyAppraisal

We are continuing work on the integrations of evidence data (publications, grants, and research student supervision) within MyAppraisal. It is likely that these integrations will be available towards the end of February.

However, to allow colleagues to start their appraisal should they wish, we are aiming to launch the above pathways the week beginning 10 February. We will share a further update once the data is available and can be added to an appraisal.

Appraisals at UCL E-learning

To support colleagues with annual appraisals, a new Appraisals at UCL e-learning module is now available.

We are also running a workshop for colleagues who are new to the appraiser role, or appraisers looking to improve their appraisal skills. To find out more and to register your interest, please complete a short online form.

System support

Video tutorials and FAQs are now available on the appraisals SharePoint. 

If you require technical support, this can be accessed by submitting a support request through MyServices.

Retrieving historical appraisals from PAR 

The previous Professorial Appraisal Review (PAR) system is due to be archived shortly. If professorial staff require a copy of any historical appraisals from PAR, we are advising that these are downloaded before 28 February.

In the meantime, to learn more about the new platform, visit the appraisals SharePoint.
