Faculty Promotion and Continuing Appointment

The fall semester is observation time, and if you are being considered for academic promotion, retention or continuing appointment, you should contact your College Personnel Committee (CPC) representative and/or the Peer Personnel Committee (PPC) representative for your area or campus. A list of campus and area CPC reps can be found in the promotion workshop guidebook linked below.

Your PPC rep (an FA member) will observe your class and complete the appropriate B Form. It's advisable to arrange to have a PPC rep present whenever an administrator has scheduled a classroom observation.

It's also important to familiarize yourself with the Guidelines of College Personnel Committee and Peer Personnel Committees. This booklet contains everything you ever wanted to know about the procedures, methods, etc., of the CPC and PPCs.  

All faculty who wish to be promoted are strongly encouraged to attend the annual FA promotion workshop, typically held early in the spring semester to help faculty through the process, where the FA executive vice president and your campus executive dean will distribute the promotion workshop guidebook and give advice about the promotion process.
