SON and SOH

All applicants should forward to their prospective Unit Leader the following:

IMPORTANT: The School of Nursing APT is awaiting final approval for updated SON APT Manuel. Approval is expected in November 2024. Please refer back to the OFAA website regularly for any updates for SON Appointment and Promotion processes.

  • The CV must be formatted using the SON CV template and signed by the applicant​
  • Sections that are not applicable should be indicated with N/A or deleted from the format

  • If submitting an official graduate school transcript, you must complete a transcript request form (provided by Unit Leader or Admin) to request official transcripts
  • Degree Verification Form

  • For Adjunct Professor the applicant needs two-three letters of recommendation (per Program guidance)
  • Letters are addressed to the Unit Leader
  • 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​

  • Submit no more than five major scholarly publications completed since appointment or the last promotion in the dossier.

  • 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 Unit Leader/Program Director then prepares a letter, which includes the role the faculty will play in the unit. All materials are then posted on the secure department blackboard site for review by the Executive faculty within the unit.

Each unit then follows the unit 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.
