Guidelines for Preparing a Binder for the University Undergraduate Advising Award

 

The following materials should be placed in a three-ring binder (at least 1") with the nominee's name and department on the backbone of the binder. Keep the binder as short and concise as possible (but leaving room for up to 30 questionnaires); separate individual sections below by index tab dividers; do not use plastic sheet protectors.

1. Title page and Eligibility Checklist: Name of nominee, rank or position, department and date of hire at FSU. State prominently on the title page that this is for an Undergraduate Advising Award. Insert signed Eligibility Checklist.

2. Up-to-date Vitae and Assignment of Responsibilities: A complete, up-to-date curriculum vitae and assignment of responsibilities (if the nominee is a faculty member) or a statement of responsibilities of the nominee's position (if nominee is an A&P advisor).

3. A letter from the nominee's supervisor describing the reasons the nominee is deserving of an award.

4. Nomination form(s). [Office of the Provost will put in binders upon receipt and they will be returned to nominee after completion of award process, unless requested otherwise.]

5. A list of students for whom the nominee has served as adviser during the prior academic year.

6. Other supporting materials not to exceed five pages (e.g., copy or list of prior awards, voluntary statement on advising philosophy (1 page limit), original/unique materials used for advising, etc.).

7. Student questionnaires section. You may distribute up to 30 questionnaires. Please outline the criteria used for distribution of the questionnaire and include in this section of the binder. The completed student questionnaires must be returned by the student directly to the University Teaching and Advising Awards Committee in care of the Provost's Office (DO NOT HAVE THEM RETURN THEM TO A DEPARTMENT OFFICE). The questionnaire may be mailed, faxed to 850/644-0172, or e-mailed to mvanos@fsu.edu. On receipt by the committee, the questionnaire will be placed in this section of the nominee's binder. The questionnaires will remain confidential and will not be returned to the nominee/department.
