Faculty candidates’ case access
Most faculty candidates are notified via email that their cases are available in Interfolio’s RPT tool. Emails sent from the Interfolio system have the subject “Case Available” and provide a direct case link that remains valid for 30 days.
✓ Once a candidate is notified, they can also access their case from Interfolio’s Ohio State homepage, by clicking Packets near the top left side.
When a candidate clicks the notification email’s case link, they will arrive on the case’s Overview tab, located just under the unit name near the top left. Most faculty candidates’ cases contain multiple sections, many of which require either file uploads or form submissions. Interfolio Coordinators (ICs) may assign submission deadlines to candidate case sections.
✓ To satisfy a case section form requirement, the form must be submitted (not just saved).
Candidate case section display settings:
- Display a single case section’s instructions and requirements: click the carat symbol to the left of a section name.
- Display all sections’ instructions and requirements: click on the Packet tab just to the right of the Overview tab. Next, click Expand All in the upper blue bar just below the Packet tab.
Locking and unlocking a case section
After a candidate completes a case section’s requirements, this section is automatically locked by the Interfolio system. Each candidate case section can be unlocked if a candidate later needs to make changes. Interfolio Coordinators (ICs) are designated first points of contact for all Interfolio questions. They manage who has the ability to unlock candidates’ case sections, and other review process expectations and requirements.
