Binder Review

What will we discuss?What is changing?Contents of the “binder”Future of the P&T process

What is changing?Nothing…exceptThe Office of Faculty Development and Advancement will not be accepting hard-copy binders effective with the 2016-2017 process.Colleges will submit 4 .PDF files for each candidate.

What does this mean for you?Make sure you know which staff member in your department/school or college will be helping you.Yes, you can still prepare a hard-copy binder. Staff members in your area can scan everything for you.It will be up to the colleges to determine if scanned binders will be required at the department/school level.

Relax…you don’t need to know the details.

Contents of the “Binder”

Who is responsible for preparing the binder?The Department Chair/School Director (or Dean in colleges without departments) is responsible for preparing the file (binder). The Candidate must also participate in this process. The Chair/Director or Dean and the Candidate must sign the summary cover sheets.

The Candidate’s signature certifies that he/she has reviewed the file (binder) and that the contents are valid and accurate.The chair’s/director’s or dean’s signature certifies that the file (binder) complies with University procedures and has been reviewed by the candidate.
