Eligibility for Promotion to Associate Professor (Tenure Track)

P29S

For Assistant Professors on tenure track, promotion to Associate Professor generally occurs simultaneously with the decision on tenure. Under normal circumstances there should not be split decisions where a faculty member is tenured but not promoted to Associate Professor.

To be eligible for promotion to Associate Professor, an Assistant Professor should expect to serve six years in rank, of which at least four are at Elon University.

For faculty on tenure track, promotion will not occur prior to a tenure decision.
