Annual Report of Non-University Activities (RNUA)
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.
