We schedule T&P workshops as regular meetings and training sessions for each faculty cohort in the tenure or promotion process, starting at the end of spring and continuing throughout the summer.
Each spring, we also offer a T&P Nuts and Bolts session for chairs and admins who will support their faculty in the process.
The first T&P Workshop for 2024 will be held on April 17, 2024.
"Chairs and Admins: T&P Nuts and Bolts" Meeting will occur on May 15, 2024.
Before beginning the process of preparing the Tenure and Promotion or Promotion Dossier, candidates should review the guidelines for promotion and tenure and the Content and Format of Documentation for Candidates for Promotion and Tenure, which details the materials that must be included in the dossier.
For details governing the promotion and tenure process and the submitted materials, please refer to the Handbook of Operating Procedures AA-FPT-PO1.
The tenure and promotion process this year is being conducted through Watermark/Digital Measures. The information that is gathered for the T&P dossier will be drawn from the faculty member’s profile in W/DM. Faculty need to enter their information into W/DM, verify it is correct, and notify us of any errors. Please contact dmhelp@uta.edu if you need assistance with W/DM
The Vice Provost for Faculty Success, Minerva Cordero (cordero@uta.edu), guides the entire T&P process, so you may contact her with any questions.
We are scheduling regular meetings and training sessions for the fall 2023 cohort. You will generate your T&P report into Flow when the cycle begins in September.

UT System Board of Regents' Rules and Regulations 31007, Sec. 5.1(b)(4) delegates the authority to the provost (chief academic officer) to make the decision to grant a one-year extension of the tenure clock. RR 31007 addresses extension requests that are due to a faculty member's personal circumstances. In those cases, RR 31007 allows for two one-year extensions.
In the face of extraordinary circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic where actions of the university curtail the research, teaching, and service of faculty, to alleviate the stress that pre-tenure faculty may experience, the UT System authorizes a one-year extension of the tenure clock at all eight academic institutions. This has been done and tenure track faculty starting fall 2019 and fall 2020 or have had previously a year added one to their tenure clock to use or not as they see fit. The University of Texas System has amended that extension. The new extension covers all pre-tenure faculty hired on or before May 31, 2022.
