There are few, if any, career milestones as important and career-altering as that of tenure in academia. Here at UVU, we want to make sure that every deserving faculty member receives tenure and is able to enjoy the benefits of that milestone. It is with that goal in mind that we, a committee made up of members from Faculty Senate and the Office of Academic Administration, have prepared these guidelines for you to consider as you progress along the tenure process. While useful and important, following these guidelines will not guarantee tenure. However, following them may reduce the likelihood of a deserving faculty member being denied tenure.
