Promotion Approvals Effective July 1, 2024

Candidates Approved

Congratulations!!

Promotions and tenure review occurs once a year. The process begins with departmental review. The due date for completed promotion packets varies by department. Please see the administrator for promotions in your department for the due date. The department review and subsequent revisions must be completed before packets are due in the Dean's Office.

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 ZOOM workshops on academic advancement held each spring.   Required School of Medicine documents to be included in the promotions packets include: LSUHSC – NO - LSU Promotion/Tenure Review Request Form, Personal Statement, Additional Information Document (for clinical faculty only), Curriculum Vitae (LSUHSC template), Annual Faculty Evaluations (All since hire or since previous promotion), Signatory Page, and letters of recommendation. Detailed instructions are available in the Promotions and Tenure Guidelines and Memo for FY 25-26. Please note that departmental requirements may exceed those of the School of Medicine, but only the materials listed above will be reviewed by the School of Medicine Appointments and Promotions Committee and for higher levels of academic review.

All faculty candidates participate in the preparation of promotions and tenure materials before formal review begins. The faculty candidate acknowledges that the promotions packet is accurate and complete before formal review begins by attestation on the Signatory Page. Letters of recommendation are added to the packet after signature with the understanding that the letters will not be seen by the faculty member. Letters of recommendation should be solicited using the standardized template available below.
