Appointment Phase Procedures

The department prepares the letter of offer, using appropriate form letter.

The department sends the letter of offer as an electronic document to the dean's office; it is then forwarded to the office of the provost.

• Signed letter of offer

Upon receipt and processing by human resources, the department will receive a Faculty Appointment Form confirming the appointment.
