What is OATS?


Overview

The Outside Activities Tracking System (OATS) is a multi-campus collaboration intended to facilitate the collection, review, and reporting of faculty outside professional activities that are subject to APM 025, Conflict of Commitment and Outside Activities of Faculty Members and Designated Other Academic Appointees. For more information about the OATS initiative and project, visit the UC OATS website.

Accounts are automatically generated and campus users login via the UCSC OATS portal with their CruzID and gold password. Questions regarding OATS accounts can be sent to oats@ucsc.edu.
