<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">This document provides guiding principles to assist faculty in preparing their documents for advancement in clinical rank promotion (Clinical Assistant Professor, Clinical Associate Professor, or Clinical Professor). This is not a tenure leading track. Included are areas of accomplishment that the committee uses in their process of reviewing the faculty documents and forming a recommendation to the dean. The examples in this document are examples areas of evidence that the faculty will describe to demonstrate their accomplishments in their narratives. The committee anticipates that faculty members may have unique accomplishments to cite in their areas of evidence.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Promotion in clinical rank is available for masters or doctorally prepared faculty members holding a special appointment (SA). Those with a master’s degree in nursing and limited academic experience will start at the rank of clinical instructor; exceptions can be made for those with outstanding experience. The highest rank possible for the masters prepared individual is a clinical assistant professor.  The highest rank possible for the doctoral prepared individual is a clinical professor.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">The College of Nursing (CON) Promotion & Tenure (P&amp;T) committee has developed these guidelines and tables of examples to assist faculty during the preparation of the application. Submission deadlines must be met in order to apply for promotion. All CON P&amp;T materials can be found on the P&T webpage. All applicants must follow Standards and Guidelines for Promotion for Clinical Rank (Appendix A2) and [[CON Promotion for Clinical Rank|policy 4.4.6 (2)]] for the preparation of the documents. Documents that do not follow all of the guidelines will not be reviewed.</p>
