Promotion/Tenure and Reappointment

The 2023-2024 promotion casebook guidelines and templates are now available.  All casebooks will be generated through Mountain Pass’ software SmartPath.  Certain sections of the casebook will be generated through the system while other items will be uploaded by the department.  Links to templates for uploading are below.   Please refer to the guidelines for reference and additional instruction. 

The ADAA office is requiring that all candidates complete their CV in a standard format, to be submitted to external reviewers when soliciting letters and within the casebook.  The 2023-24 CV for instructional track, research professor track or research scientist track promotions should be created in SmartPath (https://engin-umich.mntnpass.com/cv).  The pdf version of the CV should be used as reference.    If promotion candidates and their departments need help in building CVs, please contact the ADAA Office for assistance.

Please note that promotion casebooks will be due in the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs (ADAA) office no later than Wednesday, November 8, 2023 at noon.  The casebook review meeting with the CoE Executive Committee, Department Chairs and Associate Deans will be held Thursday, January 18 and Friday, January 19, 2024.  Additional information (location, agenda) will be provided in early January.

If you have any questions regarding casebook content or SmartPath, please contact Sherry Hall ([email protected], 647-7018). 

Additional information is available in the form of Promotion Guidelines from the Office of the Provost at:  http://www.provost.umich.edu/faculty/promotion_guidelines/.   However, please note we haven’t yet received updated guidelines from the Provost Office.  We will notify the departments of any changes as soon as they are received.
