5.1.1 Policies and Procedures - Promotion and Tenure Review
The University of North Georgia (the “university”) promotion and tenure review processes (“P&T Review”) follow the guidelines of the University System of Georgia Board of Regents Policy Manual (“USG BOR Policy Manual”). These guidelines establish foundational policies and procedural expectations for institutions of higher education and for disciplines within universities while providing for appropriate professional flexibility at departmental levels. This is the University’s overarching P&T Policy. Additionally, each academic department and the library are responsible for developing discipline-specific expectations for tenure and for each type of promotion. The 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 (University of North Georgia) Promotion and Tenure policy described herein should guide these discipline-specific expectations.
