Annual Evaluation Process

Important Note: At this time, the self-evaluation process has only started for the full-time university-employed faculty.  The process for the full-time non-university employed faculty (e.g. Clinician and Biomedical tracks) will be coming soon in Spring 2026.

Step by Step Faculty Evaluation Process

For detailed instructions on how to complete the self-evaluation, you can view the Faculty Performance Evaluation Guide.  You can also review the Faculty Performance Evaluation Discussion Guide to view tips and best practices to ensure a productive meeting. 

  1. All full-time faculty will complete a self-evaluation and a school-specific tool for measuring education activities and submit the forms to their Chair/Unit Head.  Please see the school-specific forms below:
  2. OPTIONAL FOR EARLY CAREER FACULTY: Early career faculty may choose to have their professional contributions reviewed by the Department/Division/Program’s Performance Review Committee in a study section-like format, using well-defined anchors to measure performance. Evaluation of the early career faculty member’s performance by the Chair/Division/AD/Program Director will be informed by the work of the Performance Review Committee.
  3. The Chair or Unit Head will then meet with the faculty member to review their performance and set goals/expectations for the next year. As in previous years, review of the performance and setting goals/expectations of tenured faculty members will be conducted by the Department Chair or Academic Unit Head.

Timeline

The faculty are evaluated based on their work during the most recent calendar year (January 1 – December 31, 2025).  Deadlines for the annual evaluation process are set by the Vice President for Faculty & Academic Affairs.  Below is the timeline of events:
