Part 1: Self-Evaluation

Self-Evaluation Overview

The annual performance self-evaluation asks you to actively engage in the Performance Review Process. The information presented in your self-evaluation will guide your supervisor during their Supervisor Evaluation by providing better insight into your overall performance and the perception of your own performance.

Accessing the Self-Evaluation

  • To access your Self-Evaluation, go to apps.ithaca.edu and log into Finance and HR Cloud, using your Netpass credentials.
  • Select either the Ithaca College logo or the home icon to access the main page.
  • Once on the main page, select the Career and Performance app. A message will appear stating “It’s time for Annual Performance Review” and it will contain a link to complete your Self-Evaluation. 

Complete Section 1: Competency under Evaluation Topics

The first section you will complete is the Competency section of the Evaluation Topics section of the Annual Performance Review. Select the Evaluate button to open competencies.  Share your assessment of your job performance over the last year for each competency. Provide examples that support your evaluation.

When completed, click Save and Close in the top right-hand corner.

Your supervisor will request feedback from all direct reports you may have and will collaborate with you to identify additional employees to provide peer feedback. This feedback is optional and will not be viewable by you.

Supervisor Guide

A separate Performance Review – Supervisor Guide is available online, outlining the Supervisor’s responsibilities and tasks during the Performance Review Process.

Part 4. Performance Meeting

Performance Meeting Overview

Supervisors and employees are required to meet one-on-one to discuss the Annual Performance Review. Annual Performance Reviews are not meant to be a surprise to the employee, as regular check-ins should have been occurring year-round.

Performance Meeting Agenda

Performance meetings can be held in-person or virtually and should be between forty-five (45) and sixty (60) minutes in length. Both the employee and supervisor should be contributing to the conversation regarding each section of the Performance Review document. At the end of the meeting, goals and an action plan for accomplishing those goal should be put in place, including routine check in meetings throughout the year.

Part 5. Final Feedback  

Final Feedback Overview

Once your supervisor confirms the performance meeting was held, the Annual Performance Review will be returned to you for any Final Feedback. An Information Call-Out will appear. Click Continue to enter in any final comments.

Click the verification box and then Submit in the top, right-hand corner.
