Promotions and Tenure
Promotions and tenure review occurs once a year. Packets are due on August 24, 2012 with an effective date July 1, 2013. Official notification from the Chancellor's Office is typically made shortly before the effective date of the successful advancement.
Candidates and those individuals assisting in the preparation of promotion and tenure materials should familiarize themselves with the Guidelines and Criteria for Promotions and Tenure. Faculty candidates (and those planning for future promotions) are encouraged to attend one of several workshops on academic advancement held each spring on the main campus as well as at Children’s, Earl K. Long Medical Center, and University Medical Center. Required documentation for promotions packets include: LSU Promotion/Tenure Review Request Form, (the instructions for its use are also available below), Teaching Portfolio, Additional Information (for clinical faculty only), Curriculum Vitae (using standardized format), Signatory Page, and letters of recommendation. The Teaching Portfolio that is posted is new for FY 11; the first two (2) pages are required and the remaining components are optional. The faculty candidate has the opportunity of detailing achievements in various domains by selecting the components that are relevant to his/her teaching activities; only those relevant optional component instruments should be used for submission and there should be no redundancy with information in the CV.
All faculty candidates participate in the preparation of promotions and tenure materials before formal review begins. The faculty candidate attests that the promotions packet is accurate and complete before formal review begins, acknowledging the attestation on the Signatory Page. Letters of recommendation are then added to the packet; letters of recommendation should be solicited using the standardized template available below.
