Reappointment, Promotion, and Tenure

Instructions for Faculty

Before developing or evaluating materials for reappointment, promotion, or tenure, please review your department RPT guidelines as well as the following:

RPT Packet and Binder

All candidates for Reappointment and Candidates for Tenure and/or Promotion must submit both the RPT Packet and the RPT Binder. A binder will be provided to all first year candidates. Chairs should contact the dean's office (4-2338) to have binders made up for anyone seeking promotion to full professor.

RPT Packet

The RPT Packet is the information that will go forward to Academic Affairs. Please print the packet on one side of paper only. Please place the packet in the pocket inside the front cover of the binder.

College of Arts & Sciences RPT Form: casrpt1920.pdf

This fillable PDF includes the cover sheet or personnel recommendation form, the UNO RPT form, and the workload history form. Please save the form to your computer before completing it.

Teaching Evaluation Summary Sheets: courseevalnew.docx, courseevalold.docx

Also to be included in the packet (immediately following Part IV.B. of the RPT form) are the teaching evaluation summary sheets. The summary sheet for the current teaching evaluations is named coursevalnew.docx. The summary sheet for the older teaching evaluation form used prior to 2015 is named courseevalold.docx

Research Matrix: research-matrix.docx

This Word doc should be included in the packet immediately following Part IV.C. of the UNO RPT Form.

RPT Binder

The RPT Binder provides evidence or documentation of the information in the packet and is reviewed by the College of Arts & Sciences RPT Committee. You may want to print on both sides of the paper for materials in the binder. Place a Table of Contents at the beginning of each section (Teaching, Research, Service) to show how the material is organized. Only in rare instances will the same documentation be included in more than one section. For example, a candidate must choose whether a pedagogical publication will support the research profile or the teaching profile. It cannot support both. Within sections, keep documentation organized by year. For examples of documentation to be included, please review these instructions from the RPT Committee.

Below is the PowerPoint presentation from the College RPT Orientation 9/8/17.
