2“Faculty members who, according to this Section [Article 22, Section C.], are scheduled for evaluations less frequently than every year may request more frequent evaluations.” (Article 22, Section C.)

Faculty members who are tenured but not promoted to Full Professor may wish to be evaluated annually to meet Article 25 criteria for promotion. These faculty members should speak with their dean/supervisor about establishing annual evaluations. Such evaluations should follow the schedule in the first column above. Faculty members who do not plan to apply for promotion within the next four years, can use the four year cycle.
