| 30 September | Dossiers to Department Committee and Chairperson |
| 1 November | Department's recommendation to the College Committee and Dean |
| 15 January | College Committee and Dean's recommendation to the University Promotions and Tenure Committee |
| 1 March | University Promotions and Tenure Committee recommendations |
| 10 March | Provost's recommendations |
Whenever possible, these dates should be anticipated and dossiers forwarded (with recommendations) at an earlier date. (Note: Candidates should not be required to submit dossiers before September 1.)
As noted above, each college and dean will establish schedules for hearing appeals. The University Senate Committee on Promotions and Tenure and the Provost's Office will receive and hear appeals up to but not beyond March 30. The deadlines are established to provide candidates with an adequate period of reconsideration consistent with deliberate reviews by the appropriate persons and to prepare final recommendations to the Trustee Committee on Education and Training, which meets in early April. Any appeals not filed and heard by March 30 must be carried over to the following academic year.
