If submitting an official graduate school transcript, you must complete a transcript request form (provided by Department Chair or Admin) to request official transcripts
For Adjunct Professor the applicant needs two-three letters of recommendation (per Department/Program guidance)
Letters are addressed to the Chair of the Department
Letters must be submitted on letterhead and physically signed (not typed) by the writer
Writers must type their name and current rank underneath their signature
Writers must identify the track and rank the applicant is applying for, and whether the applicant is going for appointment or promotion in the letter
The letters of support are from individuals who are familiar with the applicants qualifications as a scholar, educator, and practitioner, where applicable
All letters should come from writers who are at or above the rank sought by the applicant
Should be dated no earlier than four months before submission via Interfolio
At a minimum, information should be provided for each course, each year, taught by the candidate. Student evaluation data from standardized course evaluations should not include student comments. Units should provide the numerical summary of student evaluation data.
For promotions, evaluations must include student evaluations and three peer evaluations from faculty holding the rank sought
Note: Individual student evaluations will not be accepted and will result in a return of application.
The Chair/Program Director then prepares a letter, which includes the role the faculty will play in the department. All materials are then posted on the secure department blackboard site for review by the Executive faculty within the department.
Each department then follows the department voted upon procedure for approving the adjunct faculty member at the appropriate determined rank. A request to switch from adjunct to part-time or full-time status must be reviewed and approved by APT. Recommendation for approval is then forwarded to the Dean.
For appointments, applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Applications for promotion to associate or full professor must be submitted by the first day of August or March, and Faculty should anticipate a minimum of eight weeks review time. Applications for promotion from instructor to assistant professor will be handled on a rolling basis. Please see the APT meeting schedule and deadlines (also copied below).
Please work with your Department Administrator or Human Resources Contact (HRC) to discuss the application process and when they need the paperwork from you before the deadline.
Deadline for Departments to finish uploading the appointment applications in Interfolio
