Mid-Probationary Review for Tenure-Track Faculty
The University of Texas at Austin is committed to providing faculty members with informative and meaningful feedback. It is especially important that tenure-track faculty undergo a comprehensive review midway through their probationary service in order to assess if the faculty member is on a reasonable trajectory toward promotion and tenure.
The Dell Medical School, through a process determined by the Appointment, Promotion, & Tenure Committee (APT), will conduct a full review of the designated area of excellence, and overall progress of each tenure-track faculty member during the spring/summer of the third year of service.
