The Office of the Provost (OtP) reviews all career instructional, clinical, and librarian faculty promotions. For instructional and clinical faculty promotion submissions, follow the process outlined below.
The Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation reviews all faculty promotions in research classifications. For career research faculty promotion submissions, contact vpri@uoregon.edu.
For planning purposes, it is important for OtP to have accurate information about cases that will be submitted. On or before November 1, units should send an email to vpaa@uoregon.edu with the following information for each candidate:
- Full name
- UO ID number
- UO email address
- Department name
- School/college
- Candidate’s current and proposed rank (e.g., promotion from instructor to senior instructor)
OtP requires digital submission of all promotion files. The candidate’s file should be prepared digitally at the unit level. Once the unit review is complete, the file is to be forwarded to the dean’s office. Following the dean’s review and recommendation, the dean’s office will submit the primary file and supplementary materials to OtP via Elements.
Many faculty are unaware that promotion eligibility requires six or more years of service at the current rank. Please see the OtP career faculty promotion eligibility webpage for eligibility details.
Preparing & Submitting the Review File
All faculty review files are to be prepared, reviews, and to OtP using Elements.
Deans or their support staff must log into Elements (uo.elements.symplectic.org), complete their review of each file, and click 'Submit' so that the file moves to the Office of the Provost. See our Elements support hub for additional content, support hours, and refresher materials.
Questions about Elements can be sent to Jenny Talusan (talusanm@uoregon.edu).
Questions about the preparation of the promotion and tenure file can be sent to vpaa@uoregon.edu.
