To exercise this one-time option, faculty should complete the COVID-19 Tenure Clock Extension Request Form linked below and submit to your department chair for processing.

• Faculty scheduled to submit dossiers in Fall 2020 must submit this form by Friday, September 4, 2020.

Faculty who wish to later rescind this extension may do so. Notification should be sent to their Chair and Dean with a copy to the Provost’s Office prior to the due date to submit the tenure dossier.
