3.5.F - Conversion from Tenure Track to Non-Tenure Track Faculty

In accordance with BoR policy (USG Academic & Student Affairs Handbook 4.1), a tenure-track faculty member may request a conversion from a tenure-track to non-tenure-track faculty status. The request form, which is on the Faculty Affairs Forms and Templates webpage, must be approved by the faculty member’s dean, the Provost, and the President. If a tenure-track faculty requests and is granted a conversion to a non-tenure-track faculty position, the individual’s clock is reset, because this is a different faculty type with a different set of expectations and guidelines. Thus, the faculty member will begin the first year in the new non-tenure-track faculty position at the beginning of the next academic year after the approval of the conversion and the faculty member will follow all performance evaluations appropriate for that new faculty type and rank.
