Promotion and Tenure

The Standards for promotion and tenure, which are detailed in the documents linked below, were established to guide you as you advance in your careers by providing you with a clear understanding of expectations and criteria for promotion. When the COM Appointments and Promotions Committee (COMFAPC) and the Dean review the applicant's portfolio the overall strength of the portfolio is considered within the context of all demands placed on the faculty member, including academic, clinical, service and family responsibilities.
