Promotion and Tenure Calendar
To support faculty throughout the promotion and tenure cycle, three calendars are available: the Complete Promotion and Tenure Calendar, the External Review Phase Calendar, and the Internal Review Phase Calendar. Faculty should begin by consulting the Complete Promotion and Tenure Calendar, which outlines all key dates and actions from the start of the external review phase through to the final effective date. The External and Internal Review Phase Calendars are provided as sub-calendars, allowing faculty to view only the specific deadlines and actions related to each respective phase of the review process.
