Statistics

Each year in May, the Department Head meets with each faculty member and discusses a variety of items including the Faculty Activity Report (FAR) and the Plan of Work (POW). For junior faculty, an important discussion is whether a dossier for reappointment or promotion should be assembled that summer. In preparation for that meeting, the timeline and details below are meant to provide clarity about the process. (Post-Tenure Review is a completely separate process and has its own rules and procedures, http://policies.ncsu.edu/regulation/reg-05-20-04.)
