Section 4.9: Faculty Planning & Evaluation

4.9.7 Tenure and Promotion Review

Before beginning the sixth (or final) probationary year, a faculty member with the rank of assistant professor or higher must make application for tenure and promotion. Absent an approved exception as described in Section 4.9.3, application and all supporting documentation for tenure should be submitted in the sixth or final probationary year in accordance with tenure and promotion calendar maintained by the Provost Office.

Academic units and departments may also maintain tenure and promotion calendars for internal deadlines, but the calendars must be consistent with the university tenure and promotion calendar maintained by the provost.
