Provost Startup Extension Request Process

Requests for extensions will only be considered in cases involving clearly documented, extenuating circumstances that significantly impacted a faculty member's ability to initiate or sustain their research program within the designated funding period. 

• Provost/RISE 100 startup extension requests require the support and approval of the department chair and dean. Any request that does not have the approval and support of the department and college will not be considered by the Provost for approval.
• Provost/RISE 100 startup extension requests should be submitted no earlier than 6 months and no later than one month prior to the funding expiration date.
• Provost/RISE 100 startup extension requests submitted after expiration will not be considered by the by the Provost Office for approval.
• Extension requests MUST be submitted by the faculty member using the Provost/RISE 100 Startup Extension Request form; otherwise they will not be considered.
