Annual Evaluation for Tenured Faculty not Applying for Promotion or Professional
Advancement Increase
INSTRUCTIONS: Attach this sheet as a cover page to materials submitted.
1. This form is completed
by the VPAA office for each probationary and tenured faculty member applying for
retention, promotion or Professional Advancement Increase. The faculty member submits his/her portfolio to
the department chairperson, providing appropriate supporting material in an evaluation portfolio. The normal
period covered by the attached evaluation portfolio is the period since submission of the previous evaluation
portfolio, with the following exceptions: (a) for first year retention, the evaluation period is since the date of
initial employment; (b) for second year retention, the evaluation period is for the entire period of employment
to date of submission; and (c) for promotion and tenure. Include a current vita. Note that a faculty member's
performance during the entire period of EIU employment is to be considered in making a tenure
recommendation. The faculty member's performance since the last promotion (or date of initial EIU
employment if there has been no promotion) is to be considered in making promotion recommendations.
2. For information regarding portfolio preparation, please review the memo from the Provost regarding guidelines
for faculty evaluation portfolios.
3. Faculty required to have a terminal degree for tenure and who have not yet completed that degree, should
provide a statement and appropriate evidence of making satisfactory progress toward completion of the
required terminal degree.
4. After the faculty evaluation process and any resultant personnel action is completed, the faculty member
should pick up his/her portfolio at Office of the Vice President for Academic.
