How quickly will updates show in CU Experts?

Fields updated through FRPA Online will appear in CU Experts within 24 to 48 hours Monday through Friday. Data elements requiring updates through the HR system or through ITS registry systems may take longer to show in CU Experts due to processing and system update schedules. Curated items may take longer to show on a CU Experts profile as they are reviewed by staff prior to posting on CU Experts. The curation process is applied to research interests, the research overview and the submitted web URL.
