Comprehensive Review and Reappointment

Note: these policies are currently under review. 

Comprehensive Review 

The Comprehensive Review takes place after three years of service, during the fourth year. Following a successful comprehensive review, a mandatory tenure review will take place after six years of service, during the seventh year.  

Comprehensive review processes are guided largely by departmental bylaws and criteria; however, there are overarching campus policies and procedures to which all units must adhere. 

Information, provided by the Office of Faculty Affairs, pertaining to the Reappointment, Promotion, and Tenure of tenure | tenure-track faculty, can be found on the Office of Faculty Affairs website. 

If you have questions regarding this information, please contact the Dean’s Office Faculty Development Coordinator (currently Alison Miller) at CAS-Faculty@Colorado.edu
