Ball State has University-wide guidelines on promotion and tenure, and the colleges and units (departments, schools, and centers) add additional elements not found in the standard document.

The Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs assists with promotion and tenure questions related to policy and procedure.

Promotion and tenure for every faculty member are dependent on the particular assignment and are defined by University, college, and unit documents.

Review the current University Promotion and Tenure document, within the Faculty and Professional Personnel Handbook, for a detailed overview of the University policy. For more policies and procedures related to your field, reach out to your unit.
