Promotion and Tenure Calendar
When beginning the promotion and tenure process, candidates should first consult the external review deadlines calendar. This will provide important dates and timelines for obtaining external reviews. Once candidates have a clear understanding of these deadlines, they should then refer to the promotion and tenure deadlines calendar. This second calendar outlines the specific dates and requirements for submitting their promotion and tenure materials.
