G. Composition of Review Materials for Pre-tenure, Tenure and/or Promotion

At the beginning of each newly hired tenure track faculty's contract the Provost's office will create an electronic portfolio shell for the Tenure portfolio into which faculty may place all pertinent material on a rolling basis. (Approved February, 2018)

(The performance standards as outlined in Chapter 4 of this handbook (subsections A‐C of Section III Criteria for Faculty Advancement) provide a more extensive list for the three areas of evaluation: teaching, service/student involvement, and scholarship).

Faculty members who were on tenure‐track before Fall 2013 may elect to have their Student Involvement and Service evaluated as two distinct areas when they apply for pre‐tenure, tenure and/or promotion.
