The Office of the Provost manages the promotion and tenure procedures in accord with the Massachusetts Society of Professors (MSP) contract.

See below for important resources related to promotion and/or tenure.

Policies and Procedures*

The Promotion and Tenure (P&T) policies and procedures are maintained by the Provost's Office.

Provost's Annual Promotion and Tenure Workshops

The Provost's Annual Promotion and Tenure Workshops provide best practices to prepare for promotion and/or tenure. A panel of recently promoted/tenured colleagues, a department chairperson and a member of the University Rank and Tenure Committee will also provide recommendations and tips to assist candidates. This is a great opportunity to hear questions from colleagues and ask your own! Attendees will receive the 2025-26 P&T calendar and the Provost's Guidelines. Faculty planning to apply for promotion and/or tenure in 2025, future candidates, dept. chairs, and deans are welcome to attend. 

Please register for the workshop(s)
