Per the COCI Policy, each fall, academic staff members must complete a disclosure reporting non-university activities (RNUA) and request for approval of such activities and whenever a change in such activities is proposed or when required by granting agencies. 

The disclosure is completed in the START myDisclosures system. This must be completed by all employees covered by the policy, even if there are no outside activities to report. 

This includes academic professionals, academic hourlies, hourly faculty, postdoctoral associates, and the faculty ranks for professor, associate professor, assistant professor (and all of the foregoing whose appointments contain such terms as “specialized”, "research", "adjunct", “visiting", “teaching”, "clinical", or “emeritus”), instructors, and lecturers. This definition includes retired individuals with active appointments, as well as individuals with 0% unpaid appointments* consistent with those named above who have University Responsibilities involving University research or who have access to University laboratories or equipment for the purpose of research.

*Individuals with 0% unpaid appointments that have University Responsibilities involving only didactic teaching or non-research appointments may be exempted on a year-by-year basis by the Unit Executive Officer (“UEO”) from this Policy’s disclosure requirements.

The 2025 Discloser Guide, UEO Guide, FAQs, and more can be located on the Executive Vice President/Vice President for Academic Affairs Conflict Resources page.
