Annual Reviews of Faculty Members
REG 05.20.03 Individual reviews of all faculty–tenured, tenure-track, non-tenure track–are to be conducted annually. Faculty with contract lengths less than one year are not subject to this regulation. It is the responsibility of each department head or designee to review the performance of each faculty member and to keep the appropriate dean apprised of the status of the reviews.

The Code of the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina (the Code) and NCSU POL05.20.01 – Appointment, Reappointment, Promotion and Permanent Tenure authorize the establishment of special faculty appointments. NC State uses the term “professional faculty” rather than “special” or “non-tenure track” faculty. This regulation addresses professional faculty contracts and appointments used at NC State, and the criteria, terms and conditions of employment.
