Faculty

A number of policies and procedures impact the process of hiring a new tenured, tenure-track, or professional-track faculty members. The University of Maryland policy on the Appointment, Promotion and Tenure (APT) process establishes baseline standards for all faculty appointments, including possible faculty titles, credential requirements, contract requirements, and the tenure and promotion process. The UMIACS Professional Track (PTK) Policy establishes unit-level policies that are compliant with college and university-level guidelines for the appointment, evaluation, and promotion of professional track faculty. The hiring and promotion process for tenure-track faculty is administered through your home department.
