Assessment, Promotion & Tenure

The Faculty Association assists members in working through the often confusing assessment, tenure and promotion processes, individually or in workshops. The Faculty Association also has a member on each committee who helps monitor fairness and due process. Click here to learn more about our Workshops.

Members who have concerns should contact the Faculty Association directly. Members can contact the Association confidentially by email,
[email protected] , or by phone, (403) 220-5722.

Please reference the following links for specific agreements, manuals and guidelines:

Collective Agreement  (Article 28: Tenure and Promotion; Article 29: Merit Assessment Process)

GFC Academic Staff Criteria & Process Handbook

Faculty Guidelines

For the purposes of applying for Renewal, Transfer, or for Tenure, as set out in Article 28 of the Collective Agreement, an academic staff member may choose to be evaluated under current approved criteria in both this Handbook and Faculty Guidelines, or those in place at the time of appointment. An academic staff member who applies for promotion not linked to an application for tenure may choose to be evaluated under current approved criteria in both this Handbook and Faculty Guidelines, or under criteria in effect three years prior to the promotion application date, or the date of hire, whichever is later.

Confidentiality is an extremely important part of the Association’s work in this area. Please read our Confidentiality Commitment.
