4.1.5 Tenure Track Faculty

Faculty holding tenure track positions are expected to perform the activities enumerated in the unit's approved promotion and tenure document (see the section on Expectations of Tenure Track Faculty, in "Faculty Workload Policies.") Tenure track faculty are generally appointed for a nine-month period; however, they may receive extended appointments (9+1 or 9+2) or receive a fiscal year appointment.
