Release time is recorded in two ways for the funding agency. It is monitored in the planning process, using the Student Information System. It is monitored during implementation on a Personnel Action Form. In order to record release time in FRS, a PAF must be processed. Release-time Personnel Action Forms are needed in addition to SIS records because SIS is a volatile (non-permanent) planning system with little security or capability to prevent subsequent alteration of records. PAFs are permanent records, reflecting the outcome of the planning process using SIS. In addition, SIS provides a finer breakdown of faculty activities.
