Opus for Candidates

While its software is developed by UCLA, Opus is also integrated with a third-party system called Interfolio. In general, candidates will interact exclusively with Interfolio to upload case documents. Below you will find frequently asked questions, step-by-step guide and quick reference sheet to help you navigate through Opus Interfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions


Expand
titleHow will Opus affect my review this year?

Performance review is conducted in three stages: Appraisal Process, Peer Review, and Administrative Review. For the most part, the Appraisal Process will remain offline as it's been done in previous years. But rather than submitting a paper file to LHR, you'll be uploading your documents to Interfolio so they can be routed electronically for Peer Review and Administrative Review. So from a candidate's perspective, not much is changing except the way you're submitting your documentation.



Expand
titleWhich browsers can should I use?

Opus and Interfolio are designed and tested to work on the current and prior releases of most major browsers, but we found that Google Chrome works best for PC users and Safari works the best for Mac users. Browsers including Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari Microsoft Edge behave unexpectedly with reported performance/speed issues and script errors.

Javascript must be enabled in your browser. If you are experiencing blank pages, forms, or buttons that do not work, you may need to update your browser or delete old files out of your cookies and/or cache.

titleWhy does my RI need to submit Form #2-A to LHR before I can upload documents?

In order for LHR to initiate a case for a candidate in Opus Interfolio, LHR must know the RI's recommended action first.



Expand
titleHow will I know when I can start uploading documents to my case?

Once LHR has initiated your case, you will receive an email notification when you can begin uploading documents to your case.



Expand
titleI've uploaded all my documents but the Review & Submit is grayed out. What do I do?

This button is grayed out because one of the uploaded files in your packet may still be converting to PDF. Reload the page and the Review & Submit button should then be functional.
