RTP Guidelines

The retention, tenure and promotion (RTP) guidelines in this section of our website are used by each academic unit once per year to review the performance of the bargaining unit faculty.  These reviews include: non-tenure track faculty for consideration for reappointment; tenure-track faculty as they progress toward or reach their tenure decision; and faculty seeking promotion.  The guidelines and criteria differ for each department and school depending on their distinctive missions and areas of focus.  All, however, include the basic categories: teaching, research, service and professional conduct.
