Performance Reviews for Probationary Faculty and Faculty Seeking Tenure and/or Promotion (RTP)
Periodic Evaluations
Periodic evaluation is required for probationary faculty in years 2, 4 and 5 by their department or school in the Fall. Probationary faculty in year 1 do not need to be reviewed if they schedule a mentoring meeting with their chair or director.
Periodic evaluation is required for tenured faculty by their department or school in the Spring (including chairs, directors, librarians, counselors, and SSPARs) who are not in the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP) and have not undergone within the last five (5) years periodic evaluation or performance review in connection with tenure and/or promotion.
The guides listed below include links to all materials needed to assist faculty, committee members, staff, and administrators with the periodic evaluation process. A Google Drive of documents is also available.
