Reappointment Process for TPAC & Research Faculty

Reappointment Packets

Submission of the review packet is required when any associate or full TPAC or research faculty member’s contract will expire.

In the case of assistant TPAC and research faculty members with one-year contracts, the review packet is required only in their third year since their last review.

• Year one of a one-year contract: reappointment email to associate dean (see below), but no review packet
• Year two of a one-year contract: reappointment email to associate dean (see below), but no review packet
• Year three of a one-year contract: review packet

All reappointment packets, regardless of the rank at which the faculty member is being reappointed, are due to the dean’s office by the first Friday in October.

Reappointment packets for TPAC and research faculty who are not being recommended for reappointment must also be received by the dean’s office by the first Friday in October. Please see the Academic Articles (IV.3.b,c,d,e,g) for non-renewal and terminal-year contract policy.

The college strongly encourages departments to conduct teaching observations when required of TPAC and research faculty during the spring semester preceding the fall deadline. Departments are welcome to submit their packets to the dean’s office in the summer prior to the fall due date.
