Full-Time Faculty
Notice of Reappointment and Non-Reappointment

Details specific to each rank are available in the Faculty Handbook.
The Chair will provide notice of reappointment or non-reappointment.

For Faculty with One-Year Terms of Appointment
In the event of non-reappointment, the Chair will provide written notice at least six months prior to the end of the faculty member's current term. If fewer than six months remain until the end of the faculty member's term, the term will be extended for a period of six months from the date of written notice of non-reappointment solely for the purpose of ensuring that adequate notice is provided.

In the event that no written notice of reappointment or non-reappointment is provided by the end of the term, the appointment will be extended six months beyond the original term end date, and the non-reappointment will be effective at the end of that extension.

If a decision to reappoint a faculty member is made during the term extension, notice must be in writing from the Chair. The reappointment will commence retroactive to the first day following completion of the original term of appointment.

For Faculty with Multiple-Year Terms of Appointment
In the event of non-reappointment, the Chair will provide written notice at least one year prior to the end of the faculty member's current term. If less than one year remains until the end of the faculty member's term, the term will be extended for a period of one year from the date of written notice of non-reappointment solely for the purpose of ensuring that adequate notice is provided.

In the event that no written notice of reappointment or non-reappointment is provided by the end of the term, the appointment will be extended one year beyond the original term end date, and the non-reappointment will be effective at the end of that extension.

If a decision to reappoint a faculty member is made during the term extension, notice must be in writing from the Chair. The reappointment will commence retroactive to the first day following completion of the original term of appointment.
