CFE maintains sample tenure dossiers that can be accessed by appointment, consultations with team members for tenure and promotion questions, and facilitates the annual tenure and promotion workshop each Spring. Additional information about the tenure and promotion process, including forms and memos, can also be found through the Office of the Provost.
