- MyVITA contains all legacy records from the Faculty Accomplishment System (FAS).
- Many records from MU’s CAFNR reporting system were also transferred.
- Other information comes from the university’s official systems for Human Resources, Finance and Student information.
- A one-time bulk load from Web of Science fed to the Scholarly Contributions section.
- You can edit or delete FAS, CAFNR and Web of Science records as you choose. Once a record is deleted, it cannot be retrieved, and would need to be manually re-entered.
- Other information is fed from systems that are considered official sources of record. In those cases, changes must occur at the source.

If you notice errors in the Personal Information, Contact Information, and Current University Position sections of the Profile Form, Human Resources can assist you in correcting it. Additional information on how to correct information will be provided in the help and instructions in myVITA. Examples might include:
- Shared Credit in Grants – fed from PeopleSoft Finance
- Instructor Role for Courses Taught – fed from the Student system
