Academic deadlines and due dates

Academic Calendar of Due Dates

All faculty members are bound by the Indiana University Academic Handbook (available at http://www.indiana.edu/~deanfac/acadhbk/) as well as the IU Kokomo Faculty Handbook.  In addition, the Indiana University Faculty Council has a number of policies that affect faculty members and they are found at http://www.indiana.edu/~ufc/policies.shtml.  Also, the web pages of the Office of Academic Affairs offer forms, policies and guidelines. 

(These deadlines and events are subject to change due to circumstances or administrative prerogative)

 During the summer

Early May – Those going up for Promotion and/or Tenure must have the names and addresses of six outside reviewers to their unit head. University Faculty Council has draft guidelines on who is eligible to serve as an outside reviewer when submitting names (see http://www.indiana.edu/~ufc/policies.shtml).  The unit head will also pick six outside reviewers following the same guidelines.  Candidates are expected to have at least four outside letters in total.
