Promotion and Tenure Unit Criteria for Academic Rank Faculty
The University of Georgia Guidelines for Appointment, Promotion and Tenure (p. 9) require that each appointment unit develop its own discipline-specific criteria and procedures for promotion and tenure in order to supplement the UGA Guidelines. A unit’s own discipline-specific criteria and procedures must be accepted by the faculty within the appointment unit and must be reviewed and approved by the dean of the school/college and by the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost. The Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost must also be notified of and approve any amendments to a unit's promotion and tenure criteria.
In 2015, all PTUs on campus revised and updated their criteria and procedure documents.
These revised PTU documents will be used in the promotion and tenure cycle initiated
in 2016, with preliminary considerations in the spring of 2016 and full reviews in
the fall of 2016.
If you have any questions about approval of unit criteria, please contact Elizabeth
Weeks, Associate Provost for Faculty Affairs, at weeksleo@uga.edu or 706-542-9389.
