Promotion and Tenure

Applying for and being granted promotion and/or tenure is the product of hard work done by the promotion and tenure candidate, their department/school executive officer (DSEO,) faculty colleagues, promotion and tenure committee members, and a support team of administrative assistants, faculty mentors, and other interested parties.  The College of Human Sciences provides resources and support to direct the process within the college en route to the Office of the Senior Vice President and Provost (SVPP).

The SVPP website has guidelines and required forms for promotion and tenure that provide information needed by candidates and their support teams. These are forms such as the checklist, cover sheet, factual information summary, etc.  Read these thoroughly and refer to them when you have questions.
