Faculty submit their dossiers to their home unit in early September so that department/program deliberations can occur by mid-October. Reappointment and promotion dossiers are due Nov. 1 to the A&S faculty affairs coordinator:ÌýCAS-Faculty@colorado.edu.Ìý

No.ÌýAfter three years at rank, Senior Instructors/Teaching Associate Professor may be put up for promotion toÌýTeaching Professor/PrincipalÌýInstructorÌýusing the promotion criteria of their home department/program and the college.Ìý

Yes. Teaching Professors’ primary purpose is to teach and provide service to the unit with a merit formula of 85/15. With the approval of the appropriate Divisional Dean, the Teaching Professor may pursue scholarlyÌýor creative work which benefits the unit with a merit formula of 80/10/10.

In the RAPs, a PUEC will typically compose one RAP faculty member and one faculty member from a cognate unit. At least one of those two will always be a tenured faculty person (usually a RAP Director). The other is often an instructor, at rank equal to or greater than the reappointment/promotion level being sought. The PUEC would deliberate, vote, and write a letter with a recommendation. The RAP Director would make a recommendation based on their own review of the dossier (including the PUEC report and vote). The AssociateÌýDean of Student Success will approve or deny Teaching Professor reappointments. Non-reappointments, appointments for less than three years, and promotions would go to the A&S Teaching/Clinical Faculty Personnel Committee.

The deadline to submit a nomination is March 1.

More information on becoming a Teaching Professor of Distinction can be found on the teaching professor of distinction page.Ìý

Yes. Faculty members who have completed six years (twelve semesters) in rank (at 50% time and above)Ìýas a Senior Instructor, Principal Instructor, Clinical Associate Professor or Clinical Professor will be eligible to apply for a differentiated annual merit formula for one semester. If granted, the differentiated annual merit formula will reduce the formal teaching responsibilities of the faculty member to one 3- credit course (or its equivalent) for that semester.ÌýThe purpose of this workload adjustment is to allow the Teaching Professor time for professional development, curriculum development, time to create new instructional activities into courses, etc. The faculty member on differentiated workload is expected to remain on campus and serve the campus full-time as defined by the appointment letter. After another six years (12 semesters) in rank (at 50% time and above), the faculty member is eligible to apply for another differentiated workload.ÌýFaculty members with appointments of less than 100% (but at least 50%) full-time shall be eligible for this benefit on a prorated basis. For example, a 50% faculty member holding one of these positions will be eligible to apply for a differentiated annual merit formula after 24 semesters. Application for a differentiated annual merit formula assignment is made to the primary unit chair or director and must be approved in writing by the dean.ÌýThe cost of the course replacements will be borne by the college.Ìý

More information on differentiated workload can be found on theÌýSenior Instructor Differentiated Workload webpage.Ìý

Given the timing of course scheduling, these requests are generally made a year before the semester in which the faculty member wishes to take theÌýdifferentiated workload. The faculty member will write a brief proposal to their chair/director, explaining their proposed project and which 3-credit hour course they would like to be teaching that semester. If the chair/director declines a request for a differentiated workload, the faculty member can appeal this decision to their Divisional Dean.Ìý

Yes. Teaching Associate Professors/Senior Instructors, and Teaching Professors/Principal Instructors, along with Clinical Associate Professors and Clinical Professors, are eligible for emeritus status upon retiring.Ìý"Upon retirement, any administrative officer or any professional member of the faculty, in accordance with normal faculty review procedures or by approval of the Board of Regents, may be allowed to retain his/her title with the description 'emeritus'."ÌýÌýAs you near your retirement date, write a petition to your chair/director requesting emeritus status. Based on department approval, the department chair/director will write a brief letter addressed to the Dean, noting the results of the unit vote, and send it to theÌýA&S Faculty Affairs Coordinator:ÌýCAS-Faculty@colorado.edu.Ìý

More information on being nominated for emeritus status is available on the retirement webpage.
