Instructions for Appointment, Reappointment, Promotion and Tenure Dossiers (tenure and tenure track only)

Instructions for Appointment, Reappointment and Promotion Dossiers (Non-Tenure Track only)

Please note the following revisions:

1. For cases coming before the Appointments, Promotions and Tenure (APT) Committee, the Provost now requires the dossier to be in Adobe Acrobat format on a CD.  This CD should be formatted to be read by computers using Windows operating systems.  (File titles should only contain alpha-numeric text.) The CD should include copies all candidate materials except publications not available digitally (e.g. books), which should be included as hard copy. 
NOTE:  Your Dean’s office may require one or more hard copies of the dossier.  Check with the Dean. 

Dossiers for candidates in non-tenure track positions may still be submitted in paper format, within a ringbinder(s), labeled on the spine to identify the candidate, with tabbed dividers separting the individual sections. Check with your Dean's office for individual School requirements.

2. The statement identifying and describing external evaluators should now be placed in the External Letters section rather than the Faculty Committee Report section.
