The Online Faculty Credentialing Database (OFCD) is a web-based system to propose and approve faculty teaching credentials. This system will replace the existing Palm Beach State paper and e-mail system of faculty credential approval. The OFCD follows the policies and procedures described in the College's Academic Management Manual (Section B - click here) on faculty credentialing. The OFCD provides Palm Beach State administration with data necessary to comply with Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) accreditation requirements for faculty credentialing. At this time the OFCD does not replace the Human Resources paper trail for new or reinstated faculty applications, interviews and approval. It is necessary to provide HR with all the necessary documents required to enter faculty into the IRM system in addition to completing this online credentialing process.
