FAAR and RPT reviews
Faculty comprehensive and retention review decisions are entered into FAAR every spring. Promotion and tenure decisions are entered in RPT in the fall.
All responses for each level of review should be posted in FAAR by the end dates listed in the calendar for each level of review. However, committees should alert the next level of review by email when they have finished their review. Be certain to enter merit scores and the retention/renewal decision in FAAR.
After each comprehensive review or P&T review level, faculty members have seven days to indicate they will respond and 12 days for a final response. For details, see the NAU Conditions of Faculty Service. Response is not applicable for sabbatical reviews.
