We are here to help you successfully navigate through all the major decision points of your career—whether that is tenure, promotion to full professor, promotion to senior lecturer, or another promotion in rank.
We provide a variety of workshops on tenure and promotion for tenure-track and non-tenure-track faculty, and are always happy to meet individually if you have unique questions or needs.
eDossier is a secure electronic system used for all tenure and promotion decisions that receive campus-level review. In addition to providing a repository for the faculty member’s materials, eDossier ensures that only the faculty assigned to review the dossier have access to the materials.
Typically eDossier is available to a faculty member in the spring semester before their dossier is submitted for review.
The folders in eDossier appear in four configurations, depending on rank. Click on the buttons below for screenshots of the different checklists.
Candidates for promotion will have access to eDossier late in the spring before their year of review. Below are links to the folder structure that appears within eDossier for each promotion track (you will need to be logged in to IU). We encourage you to copy the folder structure to your own OneDrive or hard drive to collect documents before you have access to eDossier.
Our campus is responsive to the immediate and long-term impact of the pandemic. In 2021, we updated our practices so that all external evaluators receive the following:
a. an IUB Institutional Fact Sheet (click for downloadable pdf) that describes the changes that occurred at IUB and in the surrounding community in response to the pandemic. Faculty may also include this in annual review materials to demonstrate impact and identify restrictions that are relevant to their own work.
b. an invitation letter with language about how to evaluate candidates with regard to clock extensions. Please use these updated versions; tenure-track and one for non-tenure-track.
Alternative accessible formats of the PDF documents on this page can be obtained by contacting VPFAA at vpfaa@indiana.edu.
