Non-Tenure Track Faculty

Non-tenure track faculty on academic appointments with an annual or multiple year fixed-term (with no rolling contract) must be reviewed annually and prior to reappointment.  There is no university level review by the University in the promotion path for non-tenure track faculty on annual or multiple year fixed-term (with no rolling contract).  Unit and/or college standards for promotion will govern promotion requirements and the contents of the review portfolio. 

Non-tenure track faculty on academic appointments with or eligible for fixed-term with rolling contracts must keep a comprehensive record of their accomplishments. 

• Example of Fixed-term Rolling Contract (FTRC) timeline
• First-year review - completed after first fall semester
• Second-year review - completed during annual review in accordance with unit and college procedures
• Fixed-term review - during third year of probationary period
• Review for rolling a contract forward - completed during annual review

Decisions regarding fixed-term with rolling contract, promotion in rank, and rolling a contract forward shall follow a thorough performance review as described in Standard Administrative Policies and Procedures, as well as college and unit procedures.
