Promotion Readiness Self-Assessment non-tenured – Associate Professor Levels of accomplishment and their relative weight are summarized in the figure below: Associate Professor, non-tenured. Candidates for the rank of Associate Professor without tenure must have significant accomplishments in all three mission areas. The balance among accomplishments may vary considerably from one candidate to another. At the time of appointment or promotion, the candidate, together with the Department Chair, must identify the area of distinction (scholarship, teaching, or professional service) that best matches his/her accomplishments and meets the minimum criteria described below in Table A. Table A includes one set of criteria in scholarship and two sets of criteria each for teaching (A and B) and professional service (A and B) to allow for different combinations of individual accomplishments. Scholarship benchmarks (Table 1), institutional/regional benchmarks in teaching and professional service (Tables 2 and 4), and national/ international benchmarks in teaching and professional service (Tables 3 and 5) should be used to judge qualification for appointment and promotion. It is not necessary that a candidate achieve every benchmark in a given category, but a sustained pattern of accomplishments consistent with these benchmarks is expected. Faculty are expected to maintain excellence in each mission area at least at the level required for appointment or promotion as Associate Professor until their next promotion or throughout their careers.

The level of accomplishment attained in each mission area shall be judged as the highest level at which a candidate demonstrates a sustained pattern of activity.
