Your initial appointment is for a period of two years. The maximum total period for probationary appointments is six years.

If the tenure decision made in this sixth year is negative, a one-year terminal appointment will be offered. Please see the Faculty Handbook for additional information about the probationary period and the tenure review process. Faculty members hired on or after June 1 would be eligible for a merit adjustment to be effective November 25 of the subsequent year.
Promotion and tenure policies for tenured and tenure-track faculty, faculty on the continued appointment track, non-tenure-track instructional faculty and research faculty are spelled out in chapters three, four, five and six respectively of the faculty handbook. Faculty Handbook
