Introduction

Illinois law and University statutes and regulations require all salaried academic staff to complete an annual Report of Non-University Activities (RNUA). The reporting and approval process is not intended to discourage non-University activities, but rather to ensure that external activities are compatible with University obligations. It is fully recognized that most external activities are consistent with, and often beneficial to, University roles. The university Policy on Conflict of Commitment and Interest, including sanctions is available here.

Part I of the RNUA is designed to help determine whether some activities require further review and approval. Part II requests that you report time spent on non-University activities in the current academic year, as well as time spent last year. We ask only that you estimate the time to the best of your ability. If activities change significantly during the year, please submit a revised report to your department.

Below you will find resources for both academic staff and administrators. Employees can obtain the RNUA form and instructions, and administrators will find instructions for reviewing the completed forms. Units can download their checklists (lists of employees who must complete the form) here, as well as find an educational presentation about the RNUA process.

Using Fillable PDF Forms:

  • This form can be completed directly on your computer and then printed out. No need to use a typewriter.
  • You will not be able to save this form unless you have a full version of Adobe Acrobat (not just the free Adobe Acrobat Reader), so you must print it as soon as you complete it.
  • You cannot submit the application online. You must print the form and submit a signed hard copy to your unit head.
  • We suggest that you first download the form to your computer and then fill it out. On most computers, this can be done by right clicking the link to the form and selecting "Save Link As..." or "Save Target As..."
  • If you do not want to use the fillable form feature, you can always print out the PDF form and complete it by hand or with a typewriter.
