Faculty Success - FAQ

Faculty Success is a system developed by Watermark that allows faculty to document their accomplishments and professional activities and generate reports.

Faculty and administrators must prepare annual activity reports, promotion and tenure documents, lists of awards/honors, accreditation reports, and more. A web-based activity reporting system like Faculty Success makes these tasks easier. Faculty only need to enter the information into Faculty Success once, and the information can be used to generate real-time reports accurately and efficiently. The system is available to faculty any time and is accessible from any computer with an Internet connection.

Any faculty person who needs to submit an annual activities report should have an account in the system.

No. New full-time, instructional faculty will be added to the system periodically by the Office of Institutional Research and Analysis. If you are unsure about whether or not you should have an account, please contact facultysuccess@marquette.edu. 

Log in to Faculty Success.

Log in using your Marquette email address (firstname.lastname) and Marquette password. Contact facultysuccess@marquette.edu with any login problems or questions.

The system is cross-compatible with most browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

You can update your information at any time.

Some of your information will be imported annually from other Marquette systems. However, you will be responsible for entering other information, such as publications, presentations, grants, and service.

Departments may opt to have a student employee or department assistant enter certain faculty activity information as well. Once you enter information about a given activity into the system, that information never needs to be re-entered.

There is no requirement regarding how often you should use the system. However, you will need to record all new activities prior to the due date of the annual faculty activities report for your college.

No. However, please be sure the sections that you would not normally submit are not included in the faculty activities report that your Chair or Dean will generate from the system.

Please refer to Common Activities and Entry Locations. If you still cannot find a location for your activity, please contact facultysuccess@marquette.edu. 

Yes, the following data will be populated periodically by the Office of Institutional Research and Analysis: Scheduled Teaching, Permanent Data, Yearly Data, and Academic Advising. 

Currently, all annual activities reports are generated from Faculty Success. Faculty Success can also generate university-level reports (e.g. Marketing and Communications, ePublications, etc ). Please click here for more information on university-wide reports. Other reports specific to each college have been developed and are accessible at the college level (Dean's offices).

Please refer to this faculty success overview tutorial for detailed instructions on running a report.

Currently, you, your department chair, the dean of your college (as well as any of the dean's designees), and the Provost have access to your data. The Office of Institutional Research and Analysis oversees the system's administration on campus and thus also has access to your data.

Please direct any college-specific inquiries to the Faculty Success representative from your college/school. You can also view a list of Faculty Success representatives. For all other questions, please contact facultysuccess@marquette.edu.
