Lecturer Reappointments

The reappointment process for full-time Lecturers has two distinctive features:

• Interfolio cases are started by the Provost's Office and then sent to the reappointing unit. Units receive an email and spreadsheet of cases with due dates from the Provost's Office.
• Course evaluations are uploaded to Interfolio cases by the Provost's Office where required.

Appointment Term

Full-time Lecturers

• The default term for full-time Lecturers is expected to be two years. All initial appointments as well as reappointments are expected to be for two years. However, one year term  may be required in cases where two-year terms are not operationally feasible. For instance, one year reappointments will be necessary in cases of replacement appointments shorter than two years, budgetary constraints, special programs like student success lecturers initiative, etc.
• A full-time Lecturer who has completed six years of continuous service may be reappointed for a three-year term with justification based upon teaching excellence. In addition to the standard package, case files for three-year reappointments must include a faculty vote. The Chair's Memo in support of reappointment should include justification for the three-year term.

Part-time Lecturers

• The normal term for part-time Lecturers is one year. This can be extended to two years upon request.

Course Evaluations

The Provost's Office will include course evaluations to Interfolio cases where required.

Reappointment case files must include the most recent two years of course evaluations  in either of the following situations:

• When the reappointment will follow six years of continuous service, and every six years subsequently, or
• When reappointing for a term of more than two years. 

Interfolio

Please see the "Provost Office - Reappointment for Full-time Lecturer" template in the RPT module of Interfolio for further details about the requirements of the reappointment process. For any questions, please reach out to Faculty Affairs at faculty_affairs@stonybrook.edu.
