Senior instructors (teaching or clinical associate professors) and principal instructors (teaching or clinical professors) up for reappointment can undergo an “expedited” reappointment every other cycle; faculty members in these ranks cannot undergo expedited reappointment in two consecutive cycles. Qualifying faculty members who wish to forgo the expedited process may opt to undergo a full reappointment evaluation by informing the chair in writing at least three months in advance of the deadline for submitting the dossier to the College of Arts and Sciences. 

An expedited reappointment requires evaluation of at least three measures of teaching and recent Merit Review scores: 

• Faculty Course Questionnaire (FCQ) summary,  
• FCQs (including student narrative sections) from each course taught since last reappointment  
• One or more selected from: 
  • peer reviews of teaching, 
  • reports of class interviews, 
  • letters from randomly solicited students, or 
  • other materials defined by the candidate or unit.  
• Merit Review scores (and comments, if available) from the previous three years. 

In expedited cases, a Primary Unit Evaluation Committee (PUEC) does not need to be formed; however, the chair or director may, at their discretion, appoint a PUEC of at least two members of comparable rank, which is charged with generating a brief report. 

Please use this checklist as the first page in your promotion dossier for an expedited review.
