Faculty in non-tenure-track (NTT) roles are vital to the campus’s research, teaching, and service missions.
NTT faculty primarily devote their expertise to one or two of those missions:
We provide guidance and oversight for appointment, reappointment, and promotion processes, including various workshops devoted to the specific needs of NTT faculty.
We also are eager to meet individually with NTT faculty to ensure your career experiences are positive and expectations are clear, as well as to address your unique questions or needs.
The procedures for consideration for promotion are described in the Guidelines document for research and instructional ranks. Please click below to access this comprehensive document.
Reappointment and promotion reviews are guided by campus, school, and (where applicable) department policies and guidelines. Policies affecting initial appointments and timelines for reappointment and promotion (if applicable) vary with each NTT faculty classification.

Find links to school and department policiesLecturers, research scientists/scholars, and clinical faculty who are candidates for promotion use the eDossier system to collect and route their materials and evidence for promotion consideration.
Candidates for promotion typically get access to eDossier late in the spring semester of the calendar year in which their dossier must be submitted for review.
In addition to department/center and school review, all research, lecturer, and clinical rank promotions are reviewed at the campus level by the Promotion Advisory Committee and VPFAA.
