Guidelines for Promotion/Tenure Review AY2008-09

ACCFT Faculty

If you are applying for tenure and/or promotion this year, the information located on this web site will help you put together your application file. The deadline for submitting your file to your campus director is September 11, 2008.

The documents that govern promotion and tenure review are Article 5.4 of the ACCFT collective bargaining agreement and the "Blue Book" - UAF's policies and regulations concerning faculty appointment and evaluation. The criteria by which you will be judged are parallel to those in the Regional Review Process (RRP) for faculty undergoing promotion and tenure.

These materials are designed to assist you in understanding the review process to be used (Part I) and to provide some suggestions for preparing your tenure-promotion application (Part II). Please review these suggestions carefully, as they may contribute to the overall effectiveness of your application. Part III contains all the forms that you need to complete for your file.

As further guidance, I would like to emphasize that peer unit members and administrators are primarily concerned that the application and supporting materials present a record which demonstrates balanced performance and/or progress in each of the required areas of faculty responsibility appropriate to your position. You are especially encouraged to address in this summary any aspects of your position or your record, which you feel deserve special consideration, or which you feel might not be readily apparent to those evaluating your file.

If you have questions or need further assistance, please consult your dean/director or contact the Office of the Provost at 474-7096.
