Ball State has University-wide guidelines on promotion and tenure, and the colleges and departments add additional elements not found in the standard document.

The Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs assists with promotion and tenure questions related to policy and procedure.

Promotion and tenure for every faculty member are dependent on the particular assignment and are defined by University, college, and departmental documents.

Review the current University Promotion and Tenure document for a detailed overview of the University policy, view the Faculty and Professional Personnel Handbook for more policies and procedures and reach out to departments for specific inquiries related to your field.
