C.1 Effective Years in Rank at UT Austin

Tenured associate professors accrue one-half an effective year of service in rank for every 4.5 months of full-time academic service during a fall or spring term.

A fall or spring term does not count toward the number of effective years of service in rank if the tenured associate professor:

(1) begins employment after the start of the fall or spring term or

(2) has an approved personal circumstances flag.

Years of probationary service as a tenure-track associate professor count toward the total number of effective years in rank for the promotion review of a tenured associate professor.
