Promotion and tenure are significant transitions in a faculty member's career. The information provided in the sections of this page help faculty and administrators understand the key elements of the process: criteria, processes, and systems.
Timelines
Most tenure-track faculty have a third-year review in the spring of their third full academic year: they prepare a candidate statement, a CV in the IUPUI format, and other materials as designated by their units. They apply for promotion to associate and tenure in the spring-summer before their sixth year. IUSM tenure track faculty have a different time-line.
For promotion, the typical timeline is five years since hiring (for non-tenure track faculty) or the last promotion.
Each year, the campus deadline is the last Friday in October. Schools set out all deadlines leading up to that final deadline. More details about the process are here.
