Per the checklist for appointments, promotions, and merits, please make sure to include the following in the department letter:
For Adjunct Professors the letter should include the percent distribution of research and teaching.
The Request for Clock Extension Only form has been updated to allow requests for a serious health condition, a significant circumstance or event, and COVID-19 reasons.
