Non-Reappointment

Chapter 4 of the USC Faculty Handbook provides general guidelines on the non-reappointment process. Each case should be brought to the attention of the staff in Viterbi Faculty Affairs as soon as possible.

APT Checklist (revised 2018) - Checklist highlighting required documents for (non-)reappointment dossiers for all part-time and full-time faculty.

All (non-)reappointment dossiers of part-time and full-time research or teaching faculty (RTPC) are due to Viterbi Faculty Affairs on November 1st.

“Per university policy, faculty on multi-year contracts should receive notice of non-reappointment (or notice of termination due to programmatic or economic reasons) prior to the beginning of the final semester of their multi-year appointment (or of their termination date if due to programmatic or economic reasons).” (VSoE 5.3).

Please refer to Sections 1.3, 2.1D and 5.3 of the VSoE Guidelines regarding the recommended procedure and timeline for (non-)reappointments. (Non-)reappointments have an abbreviated process.
