Summary of RTP Review Periods
A couple of things that you will need to keep in mind when you are declaring the portfolio complete:
-
Some faculty will have been awarded service credit when they were hired as tenure-track faculty members.
- If that is the case, then they will need to incorporate documentation from their previous institution as part of their RTP portfolio for CSUF.
-
Some faculty will have been awarded probationary year extensions or will have gone on leave during their tenure-track process.
- If that is the case, the documentation submitted for RTP reviews might appear to be missing some academic years or include some that don't make sense based on the hire date.
ALWAYS double-check for the completeness of the RTP Interfolio Review packet before forwarding it to the next review stage.
