Tenure and Promotion – Step 3
Unit Administrator Completes Evaluation, Recommendation Memo, and Personal Action Summary Form
In this guidance you will learn how to:
- Access the case
- Review the PAD
- Upload the Cumulative Evaluation
- Complete the Recommendation
- Share the Cumulative Evaluation and Receive the Candidate Response
- Complete all other requirements and send the case forward
When the unit committee completes Step 2 of the workflow they will forward the case to Step 3 and the unit administrator will receive an email.
1. Access the Case

2. Review the PAD

3. Upload the Cumulative Evaluation
The unit administrator should navigate to the “Case Details” tab to complete the requirements. A number will appear next to the “Case Details” tab that indicates how many tasks require completion.

Scroll down to the “Required Items” section and upload the Cumulative Evaluation and final copy of the Personnel Action Summary Form by clicking “Add.”
Note: The Personnel Action Summary Form is only required for Tenure actions. Information required for the second half of the form is provided by the candidate in the “Candidate Summary Information for PASF” section.


4. Complete the Recommendation


5. Share the Cumulative Evaluation and Receive the Candidate Response
The cumulative evaluation must be shared with the candidate. Navigate back to the “Case Materials” tab, scroll down to the “Cumulative Evaluations” section, open the section using the arrow in the lefthand corner, click the checkbox next to the evaluation document, then click “Share,” “With Candidate.”
Note: The recommendation is not automatically shared with the candidate when the form is completed. The unit administrator may also want to select and attach the recommendation form in the email message when sharing the Cumulative Evaluation if the recommendation is not apparent within the evaluation.


After clicking “Share, and “With Candidate,” a new screen will appear with the evaluation attached at the bottom.
Enter a subject line and message to the candidate.
Then, click the checkbox next to “Enable” file response.
Message Reason = Candidate Response to Unit Administrator Evaluation
Deadline = Today + 7 Working Days
Section for Response = Candidate Responses

After the candidate responds to the evaluation, the unit administrator will receive an email notification that a response was received.
The response can be viewed in the “Read Case” window or at the bottom of the “Case Materials” page under the “Candidate Response” section.
If the candidate response is received outside of Faculty180, then the response can be uploaded to the “Candidate Responses” section on the “Case Materials” tab.
When the candidate response has been received or uploaded, the unit administrator will fill out the “Indicator of Candidate Response” form on the “Case Details” tab of the case.



6. Complete all other requirements and send the case forward


The unit administrator’s evaluation and recommendation must be completed by the 1st Tuesday in December.
Faculty180 does not automatically notify candidates when a recommendation is recorded. Please notify the candidate, committee chair, and the unit administrator (if applicable) as required by the Faculty Manual. This notification must be sent outside of Faculty180.
