APR: Steps in the Review Process

Each faculty member must record their academic and professional activities for the past year, conduct a self-assessment of their goals for that year, and set goals and objectives for the next year. The Department Chair or an assigned evaluator, such as a Division Chief, then reviews and evaluates the faculty member’s performance during the past year and their goals and objectives for the next year in a written evaluation and face-to-face discussion.

The APR form is completed electronically and is color coded to reflect who is responsible for completing each section.
