Promotion and Tenure
The promotion and tenure review process for tenure and continuing eligible faculty and professionals occurs annually.

The Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs initiates the mandatory promotion process by conducting annual workshops.
Reviews

Each annual review shall include the past three to five calendar years of the individual faculty member's performance, with substantial emphasis on the current year for evaluation of teaching.
