This page provides the official 7.12 Statements — the unit-level standards and expectations for tenure-track and tenured faculty — for each academic college or department (excluding the Duluth campus) that have been formally approved by the Executive Vice President and Provost. Here, you’ll find the criteria your unit uses for evaluation, promotion, and tenure, organized by college and department. These statements serve as key guidance in preparing your dossier, understanding expectations, and navigating the promotion and tenure process with transparency.
Consult this guide to help you revise your unit's 7.12 Statement.
