Faculty Tenure and Promotion
Interfolio is an online academic faculty management application to manage tenure and promotion activities. Beginning with the 2023-2024 academic year, candidates applying for tenure and/or promotion at Boise State University will use Interfolio’s Review, Promotion and Tenure (RPT) system to submit their application materials, and all levels of review will proceed through the system’s workflow.
Read about Interfolio’s Review Promotion and Tenure (RPT) tool including more about Interfolio, the selection process, what modules were implemented at Boise State, and available resources.
See application materials for tenure and/or promotion 2023-2024.
Tenure and Promotion Resources
Resources for candidates as well as those who are serving on tenure/promotion review committees. Currently, the resources for candidates are focused primarily on tenure-track faculty, but the Office of Academic Leadership and Faculty Affairs will be working with clinical faculty and their departments to develop resources for those on the clinical track.
