DOM Mid-Course Review Information:
All Assistant Professors must undergo a comprehensive mid-course review during the third or fourth year of the Assistant Professor appointment. This evaluation is detailed, comprehensive, and resembles a "mock" promotion review.
Each junior faculty member in need of a mid-course review will be required to prepare an “expedited” dossier, which will be reviewed to evaluate the faculty member's progress towards promotion. Faculty members are evaluated on teaching, research/scholarship, and service, depending on the track that they are pursuing.
Refer to the Mid-Course Review page for more information. Questions: DOMMidcourse@ucdenver.edu
