The COH associate dean has oversight responsibility for facilitating through department heads and program directors the implementation of university and college academic policies and procedures for annual performance reviews and post-tenure reviews. The following documents for the current review cycle have been delivered to COH department heads and program directors and are posted here for online reference.

Effective July 1, 2003 all incoming tenure-eligible and continuing status eligible faculty are on a 3/6 year promotion and tenure review cycle at the University of Arizona. This process requires a less formal yearly promotion and tenure assessment as part of each tenure-eligible faculty member's annual performance review in all years except the third and sixth year. Each college is required to have a written, approved plan for providing college-wide “common elements” for this assessment component within annual review.

The COH Common Elements document is referenced below. Departmental Common Elements plans are available at the local level. Many COH units have their Common Elements plans posted on their websites.
