Promotion and Tenure
Promotion and tenure at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) involves a structured review process overseen by the Office of the Provost. This process ensures compliance with the NSHE Code, UNR Administrative Manual, University Bylaws and UNR Med Bylaws. Faculty members are evaluated based on their accomplishments in teaching, scholarship, and service. Successful promotions typically result in a salary increase, and tenure provides job security and academic freedom. Detailed guidelines and procedures are available on the Provost’s website and through workshops for faculty, deans and department chairs.
