IU Indianapolis Promotion & Tenure Guidelines

The Guidelines for Preparing and Reviewing Promotion and Tenure Dossiers are revised annually, based on revisions approved by the IU Indianapolis Faculty Council and feedback received during each year's promotion and tenure cycle. 

The overall Guidelines document has been split into two documents: the main one with values, criteria, documentation, and administrative rules, and a supplement with charts, CV formatting rules, and templates for external letters. 

The 2024-2025 Guidelines are now available. There are only three major changes from the 2023-2024 Guidelines:

• Name changes to IU Indianapolis and IU Columbus
• Added new definition of research and creative activities passed by IFC in Fall 2024.
• Clarified that dossier files should be submitted as accessible PDFs

A guide to deadlines can be found here.
