Timeline for A&P Processes
Overview
- Some departments have earlier internal deadlines and/or intermediary steps to facilitate faculty reviews and processing steps.
- All are encouraged to keep upcoming academic process dates in mind and to be proactive whenever possible.
- Specifics of what is needed for each track, rank and position are delineated on the Faculty Tracks, Ranks, and Positions webpages.
New appointments are addressed on a rolling basis, and should have paperwork submitted as expeditiously as possible once offer letters are executed (note that the YSM A&P Committees do not regularly meet over the summer, so paperwork submitted during that timeframe will not be reviewed until the fall). Initial appointments only can be retroactive to initial hire/start date.
The below timeline is for all reappointments and promotions of faculty in their primary department. TIMELINE VIDEO
