Expedited Review for Non-tenure-track Faculty Reappointments at Associate Level and Above ("Evergreen" Appointments)

Full-time, non-tenure track faculty at the internal rank of Associate Professor or full Professor (of Teaching, Research or Practice) are eligible for an expedited review process (i.e. the "Evergreen" process).  If your appointment is set to expire in the next academic year and your department doesn't request a formal reappointment review, you are not required to submit any documents in support of the reappointment; your department chair will notify our office that reappointment is supported, and you will be issued an appointment letter.

Eligibility

If you were promoted to the Associate or full Professor rank (either through review by the Qualified Rank Committee or a previous process), you are eligible for expedited renewal after your promotion has been approved. 

If you were appointed at the Associate or full Professor rank, you will follow the standard reappointment process until you receive a three-year renewal.  After the first three-year renewal, you will follow the expedited renewal process. 

Note that departments can request a traditional reappointment review at any renewal point.  The department chair will indicate this well in advance of the reappointment date, and the faculty member will be contacted to supply the Teaching, Research and/or Service statements, updated CV, course evaluations, etc.
