A recommendation for early promotion is possible but requires that a case be made for the candidate’s exceptionality. The candidate must explicitly address the case for exceptionality in the dossier under each section as applicable. Faculty members who apply for early promotion and are not successful may reapply the following year.
Candidates are advised to conduct preliminary discussions with their chair and the Dean prior to submission for early promotion/tenure by the last day of the spring semester prior to dossier submission.
