All untenured faculty members must be given a written evaluation of their progress toward tenure and promotion in the third year after appointment.

This evaluation may be performed by the unit tenure and promotions committee or as otherwise provided by Unit Criteria.

In all cases, faculty members should prepare their materials for Third Year Review using the Online Form System available here.

Additional information regarding Third Year Review can be found in ACAF 1.05 Tenure Progress Review of Faculty: Third Year Review.

Please contact the relevant department chair or dean for department- or college-specific Third Year Review guidelines.

Third Year Review follows the Third Year Review Calendar in all cases. The Third Year Review Calendar is produced each year by the Provost Office. Faculty members should also contact their department chair or dean for department- or college-specific Third Year Review calendars and deadlines.

This table tracks when a faculty member becomes eligible for Third Year Review, Tenure or Promotion, based on the initial date of appointment. **Please note that the calendar does not take into account any changes to a faculty member’s clock, such as a tenure clock extension.

Faculty members submitting materials for Third Year Review are required to use the Online Form System. The forms must be completed using this format, and then printed for submission.

A PDF version of the Departmental Section of the Tenure and Promotion forms can be downloaded for use by Unit T&P Committee chairs, Department Chairs and/or Deans.

A PDF version of a full Blank Set of Tenure and Promotion Forms can also be downloaded.
