  • Part I - Portfolio Summary Section (Teaching, Scholarship and Service
  • Part II – Appendix - not mandatory, but if provided it will be shared with APT and EC but will not be sent to the Provost Office or Office of Research.

Part I and Part II must be submitted to the Dean’s Office as separate files.

The curriculum vita is not part of this document and is to be submitted separately.

Part I Portfolio - Portfolio Summary Sectionwill contain only documented summaries of your effectiveness in three areas:1) teaching, 2)scholarship,3) service and will be the only part of your promotion casebook that will be submitted to the Provost’s Office for final review.

Promotion Candidates:

NOTE: For the external reviewer package, only section I.A (teaching statement), II. A. (scholarly statement), and III. A. (service statement) are provided from the portfolio. Therefore, please extract these sections from the Portfolio Part I and submit those separately.

Part II – Portfolio Appendixcan contain other supporting documentation such as outlined below. The appendix has a 20 MB size limit. Should your appendix be larger than 20MB, you may submit multiple PDF files, each under 20 MB.

Both the Part I and Part II (if provided)will be provided for review to the Appointments Promotions and Tenure and Executive Committees.
