Back to Article 22, Article 25 Procedures
If you have a question about your eligibility to apply for promotion, you should consult Article 25.C.7: "Length of service in rank and at the university may be a factor in consideration for promotion. Normally, three (3) years in rank, with two (2) evaluations conducted in accordance with Article 22, will be a minimum prerequisite for consideration for promotion." Note that if persons are unable to meet the listed deadlines, new deadlines may be mutually established by the appropriate parties, except that contractually set dates may be altered only by agreement between the IFO and MnSCU.
A faculty member may withdraw from the promotion review process at anytime by sending a letter to the Dean and the Provost. The review process shall terminate at this point.
