Reappointments

Reappointments require continued excellence. Preparing for reappointment provides the opportunity for faculty members and their departments to review progress, assess goals, and plan for development and trajectories for potential future promotion. Mentorship programs can help faculty at every stage of their career, and OAPD-sponsored career development workshops and other faculty resources available to help faculty succeed.

Reappointment processes are begun the year prior to the end of faculty appointment terms. As with appointments, there may be some details that vary from one department to another and faculty should become familiar with them. School-wide requirements that apply to everyone are spelled out by position in the Faculty Tracks, Ranks, & Positions web pages. The guiding principles are drawn from the Yale University Faculty Handbook.

It is recommended that faculty contact their department for information about related processes, requirements, and timelines. Each department has faculty affairs department teams to facilitate related procedures.
