Policy Statement

Fixed-term faculty hires and reappointments should be submitted at least 45 days before the intended effective date to allow adequate processing time. Units supported by HR Shared Services must route all required documents to the department’s HR Business Partner via RASR. For a list of required documents for a fixed-term hire, please see the Required ePAR Documentation resource below. For fixed-term reappointments, the only requirement is a letter from the chair in support of the reappointment. For reappointments with a term longer than one year, this letter must include a vote of the faculty by rank.
