Academic Personnel will send a list of candidates to those units/departments that have tenure and permanent status accruing faculty.  The list has the date a faculty member began accruing time towards tenure/permanent status.  Please notify Janet Malphurs at 273-1737 or jmmalph@ufl.edu of any necessary corrections.

The candidate must certify that his or her tenure and/or promotion packet is complete before departmental review and voting occurs.  Nominees must organize their packet according to the Template,including the order of documents, numbers and titles of sections.
