Ad Hoc Members


Opus for Ad Hoc Committee

While its software is developed by UCLA, Opus is also integrated with a third-party system, Interfolio. In general, Ad Hoc members will interact exclusively with Interfolio to review cases for peer review.


Step-by-Step Guide: Peer Review for Ad Hoc Members

The following guide outlines the Opus peer review steps from Ad Hoc's perspective for performance cases.




When to Start

Case Ready Email

Once a case is ready for Ad Hoc Review, each Ad Hoc member will receive an email notification prompting them to view the case.

The CAPA Chair or Chair-Elect who selected your committee will create a secure Box folder and grant access to the Ad Hoc members.




How to Log In to Interfolio

(warning) You're only using Interfolio to review the case. You'll submit your Form #10 in paper to the CAPA Chair or Chair-Elect.





How to Submit Form #10


(green star) DO NOT UPLOAD FORM #10 TO OPUS. Due to the confidential nature of Ad Hoc Committees, please do the following after completing the Form #10:

  • Create one pdf copy WITH confidential separate committee list and submit it by uploading it to a secure Box folder created by the CAPA Chair or Chair-Elect who selected your committee.
  • Create a second pdf copy WITHOUT confidential separate committee list and upload it to the same secure Box folder as above.
  • Email the CAPA Chair or Chair-Elect who selected your committee to confirm receipt. Do not include any confidential information in the email. 
  • CAPA will communicate with LHR, and LHR will upload the Ad Hoc committee report and send the case back to CAPA.
