Promotion and Tenure

Promotion and Tenure

Promotion and tenure is an annual, year-long review cycle beginning around the end of the Spring semester. The goal of the promotion and tenure process is to provide a thorough and objective review of the substance and merits of each faculty member’s case. The evaluation process comprises of independent reviews at multiple levels (departmental, College, Provost's Office, President), with recommendations at each level reflecting the professional evaluation of each of those involved. The President makes the final decision on all promotion and tenure cases.

The Provost’s Office maintains the General Guidelines as well as a number of other resources that faculty candidates and department administrators will use in preparation for the promotion and tenure process. More information can be found on their website.
