Faculty are evaluated for tenure and promotion at each level based on a thorough review of a portfolio submitted by the faculty member with respect to UVU policies and approved department criteria.
Faculty members are evaluated for tenure in accordance with the approved department,
program, or school tenure criteria, and university policy in place at the time of hire. The department chair shall provide a copy of Policy 637 and the approved department-specific tenure criteria to each newly hired tenure-track faculty member within the first month after hire. Candidates for tenure may, upon their request and if approved by the department chair, dean, and Provost, be evaluated according to more recent tenure criteria, if the criteria are revised during their probationary period.
Tenured faculty members are evaluated for promotion in accordance with the approved department, program, or school rank advancement criteria, and university policy in place when they apply for promotion.
Currently approved department criteria for tenure and rank advancement (where available) can be found below.
