The CU Anschutz Department of Medicine supports faculty growth as clinicians, educators, researchers, and leaders. This Promotion Criteria Matrix offers examples of accomplishments to guide advancement to Assistant Professor, helping faculty and divisions align achievements with promotion criteria. It is flexible, not exhaustive, and encourages mentorship, career development, and a culture of wellness and inclusion.

Dossiers are required for promotion to Associate Professor and Professor, regardless of track, as well as for tenure awards. They are due to the Office of Faculty Affairs by October 31, though departments set earlier internal deadlines for committee and chair review.

All dossiers must be submitted electronically through Interfolio Review, Promotion & Tenure®. Department administrators will provide faculty with instructions for submitting materials through the system.
