Evaluations

Faculty Evaluation Criteria and Procedures

The Tenure Policies, Regulations, and Procedures of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (www.uncc.edu/unccatty/tenurepol.html), based on The Code of the Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina (www.northcarolina.edu/content.php/legal/policymanual/contents.htm), specifies that academic tenure shall be awarded only on the basis of "demonstrated professional competence," "potential for future contributions to the University," and "institutional needs and resources." Faculty are evaluated annually in terms of their accomplishments in the areas of teaching, scholarly activity, and service. Each department and college within the University must have written guidelines and criteria for faculty evaluation.

Procedures for reappointment, promotion, and the conferral of permanent tenure are specified in Section 4 of the Tenure Policies (www.uncc.edu/unccatty/tenurepol.html#IV). Each college must follow procedures consistent with those prescribed in the UNC Charlotte tenure document.
