Graduate Faculty Approval Process

Overview

The process has been designed and is intended to evaluate tenure and non-tenured faculty members to determine if they meet the criteria to be graduate faculty. The specific criteria are determined by each of the five discipline colleges and the process is detailed in TAMUCC University Policy 12.99.99.C3.01. The purpose of the process at the College of Graduate Studies level is to ensure that all faculty being granted graduate faculty status have been reviewed using the appropriate standards and that the process is fully documented.

The process is guided by a set of forms, which determine the appropriate routing and process steps. The two forms are the Graduate Faculty Status College Summary Form and the Graduate Faculty Status Application Form (this form). The below provides a short description of each:

The Graduate Faculty Status College Summary Form is a multiple page form designed to be attached to a package of Graduate Faculty Status Application Forms. The form is broken into the following subsections:

·  Tenured/Tenure Track

o  Initial Faculty Appointments

o  Faculty Reappointments

·  Non-Tenured/Tenure Track

o  Associate Graduate Faculty Appointments

o  Adjunct Graduate Faculty Appointments

o  Special Appointments

The data for each section is taken from the individual Graduate Faculty Status Forms. The individual colleges are responsible for completing and submitting this form.

The Graduate Faculty Status Application Form is the form submitted for each faculty member that graduate status is being requested for. Below is a brief explanation of each field and its routing role.

Length of request: Has boxes for 1 yr, 2 yr, 3 yrs, 4 yrs, and 5 yrs. One must be checked. Name and other individual information follows and needs to be complete.

Credentialing information (required for all applicants): checking this box confirms that the applicant is credentialed by the Provost’s Office to teach graduate courses at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.

Appointment Requested: Separated into two columns. The first column is for tenured or tenure-track faculty only. The second column is for non­tenure/tenure-track faculty and includes three fields: Associate Graduate Faculty Appointments, Adjunct Graduate Faculty Appointments, and Special Appointments.

Tenured/Tenure-Track Faculty: If “New” is checked, the appointment is for three (3) years unless special circumstances warrant a shorter appointment. If “Reappointment” is checked, the appointment is for five (5) years unless special circumstances warrant a shorter appointment. Any requests for non-standard (e.g., committee service only, teaching only) or shortened appointments must include an explanatory memorandum.

Non-Tenured/Tenure Track Faculty: Need to have at least one field checked and an explanatory memorandum describing the proposed assignments and rationale must be attached. Please note that only Associate Graduate Faculty can co-chair dissertation or thesis committees. All requests for non-T/TT appointments for longer than one (1) year require a strong justification.

Reason for request: Applicable to Non-Tenured/Tenure Track Faculty only. Check the proposed responsibilities of the faculty member.

Deadlines: All requests for consideration of graduate faculty must be submitted to the College of Graduate Studies by April 01 for the following academic year.

A Curriculum Vitae must be attached to all graduate faculty status application forms.
