Tenured Faculty Annual Reviews and Promotion Schedule

Please note: These are guidelines with a hard start date and end date due to UTA's responsibility to report results to the UT System. Please complete your step in a timely manner in order to not impinge on people's time to process evaluations later in the workflow.
