Promotion and evaluationPromotion & tenure (P&T)
Election to use combined years of serviceUT Austin has a process by which faculty members hired as tenure-track Assistant Professors or tenured Associate Professors, with prior full-time academic years of service in an equivalent rank at a prior institution, may elect to count up to three of those years immediately preceding time at UT Austin toward the number of years of effective years in rank required for on-time promotion at UT Austin. See more at COE: Promotion and Tenure (P&T) > Election to use combined years of service. Tenure-track faculty: Extension of the probationary periodPersonal circumstances can sometimes keep you from achieving normal levels of productivity during your tenure-track probationary period. Fortunately, you can apply for a probationary period extension. All professional accomplishments achieved during the extension of the tenure track probationary period will be included in your promotion packet, and no distinction is made during the promotion review between those who have and have not had an extension. More information is available at EVPP: Probationary Period Extensions for Tenure-Track Faculty. Please talk to your department Administrative Manager for more information. Faculty reviewsAll active faculty are required to complete annual reviews. See an overview of other types of faculty evaluations at Faculty Evaluations by Track and Rank (COE). For information on the effects of different types of leave on review clocks, see Faculty Review Clocks (COE). The following options are available to faculty for consideration of their reviews:

Supervising employeesAnnual performance appraisalsHOP 5-2310 requires that classified staff and non-faculty professional staff who are appointed 20 hours or more per week for a consecutive 135 days (for example, one long semester) or more receive an annual appraisal. As a best practice, however, any employee who regularly works and is in an expected-to-continue position warrants receiving an appraisal.
