Because variation in requirements is possible among disciplines and departmentsdifferent disciplines may need additional information to evaluate a candidate, a dean may distribute additional procedural guidelines and information for preparation of candidate preparing promotion dossiers within their college or school.
This information must be disseminated to the college or school faculty (including promotion candidates) and shared with the Faculty Affairs team in the Provost’s Office.

For tenured associate professor candidates for promotion to tenured full professor who were tenured and promoted to their current rank at the University, college and school promotion review guidelines must clarify how to consider accomplishments completed during their prior promotion’s review year.
- Specifically, it is sometimes the case that some accomplishments are completed, awards received, etc. during the year that a faculty member is being reviewed for a promotion.
- For those accomplishments, awards, etc. that are not included in the materials under review for that first promotion (to tenured associate professor), the college or school must clarify whether
they can be included as indicators of performance, accomplishment, and trajectory in the next promotion review (to tenured full professor). - Each accomplishment, award, etc. must count toward only one promotion at UT Austin.
If the college or school does not have additional promotion review guidelines, then accomplishments completed, awards received, etc. during the earlier rank’s promotion review year cannot be considered as in-rank accomplishments for the next rank’s promotion review.
Note that course evaluation survey results during the promotion review year can only be considered for the promotion under active review.

If conflicts exist between the college/school guidelines and the University Guidelines, the University Guidelines shall take precedence (subject to the limitations in Section I).
