Timeline of APT Cycle
The faculty promotion and tenure process typically spans 24 months. The Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs publishes a calendar of dates and deadlines annually to provide guidance for unit coordinators, department heads, and unit executive officers during the promotion and tenure process. UIC Nursing Faculty Affairs has also developed a detailed timeline to support all participants during the college’s portion of this process, which can be found below.
