Instructor (With Special Provisions)

Introduction

The following list of documents constitutes what we refer to as the “Standard Order” of paperwork required for review for tenure track reappointment and approval through appropriate administrative channels. This list relates to and is partially duplicated by the document titled “Dossier Format for Tenure Track or Tenured Faculty Review.” However, the guidelines below include other administrative documents and forms which in total comprise the appointment package but are not a substantive part of the faculty committee review process.

These documents are required for reappointment of an instructor. The instructor may be reappointed successively for three future one year terms, a total of four such terms.
