Am I qualified to apply for an initial title or promotion to a senior rank?

Eligibility for senior title (associate or full professor) is primarily based on the number of years at a previous rank, but also incorporates scholarship, research and publication activity as considerations.

In general, one must have at least six years of experience at a previous rank for each step of promotion:

• Assistant Professor.
  • Associate Professor.
    • Professor.

Review the Criteria for Track and Rank to determine if you meet the criteria for a senior rank. If you are unsure, discuss the appropriate rank with your department chair.
