Annual Evaluation Process

Step by Step Faculty Evaluation Process

For detailed instructions on how to complete the self-evaluation, you can view the Faculty Performance Evaluation Guide.  **Please note that this process only applies to university-employed faculty.**

1. All eligible university employed faculty will complete a self-evaluation.  The evaluation can be submitted using the Self-Evaluation Form Template and Education Dashboard. 
2. For junior faculty, the self-evaluation forms will then be reviewed by the primary appointment Department/Division or Program Performance Review Committee, using well-defined anchors.  The Committee will provide a summary of the faculty member’s performance to the Chair/Division or Program Director.
3. The Chair/Division or Program Director will then meet with the faculty member to review their performance and set goals/expectations for the next year.
4. As in previous years, review of the performance and setting goals/expectations of tenured faculty members will be conducted by the Department Chair.
