Tenure-track faculty and faculty librarians are required to submit a Faculty Plan in their year 1, 3, and 5 spring file submissions. NTTP, part-time, and XIII-D/O faculty cannot be required to submit a plan.

The plan does not require approval but will be acknowledged by the dean in the feedback review form. The plan should be brief (approximately 3 pages) and must follow the template provided on page 17 of the MOA.
