Mandatory Reviews

Mandatory reviews are triggered by a prescribed maximum time. Mandatory review categories are:

Reappointment of Instructors: Dossiers are not required for reappointment of instructors. As defined in the Appointment, Reappointment, Promotion and Permanent Tenure Policy, POL05.20.01, Section 4.1., instructors are appointed for one-year terms only and may not be reappointed for more than two years total.

Once an instructor has been identified in the RPT process, you may process the Job Request-Change in Appointment Begin and End Date Action in the personnel system as you normally would for an appointment outside the RPT process. The official letter from the Dean is to follow Human Resources approval of the Job Request.

Reappointment of 1st Term Assistant Professors: Mandatory reviews and decisions must be made and communicated before the end of the penultimate year of the initial appointment as assistant professor.

Promotion and Tenure of 2nd Term Assistant Professors: Mandatory reviews and decisions must be made and communicated before the end of the penultimate year of the second term as assistant professor.

Conferral of Tenure for Untenured Associate Professors (initially appointed to the rank from outside the university): Mandatory reviews and decisions must be made and communicated before the end of the penultimate year of the appointment as associate professor.
