Queens College is using Interfolio for the following processes
- Annual Reappointments and Third Year Reviews
- Tenure and/or Promotion
- Collection of Scholarly Activity
This website provides instructions for each of these processes. Instructions for faculty, P&B members, chairs, deans, and the provost can be found under each of the headings in the navigation menu above. The processes for reappointments, reviews, tenure and promotion are very similar and therefore are presented together in the tutorial. For more information on the differences in the cases, see the types of cases below.

Types of Cases
Annual Reappointments and Third Year Reviews
Faculty in all academic titles without permanent employment status need to be reappointed on an annual basis. This includes faculty in all professorial titles, lecturers, and CLTs.
- For professorial faculty and CLTs, the first reappointment happens in the spring (with a notification deadline of April 1), and all subsequent reappointments happen in the fall (with a notification deadline of December 1). Professorial faculty have an additional Review in the spring of their third year of employment.
- For lecturers, the first reappointment happens in the spring of their second year of employment, and all subsequent reappointments happen in the fall. There is no reappointment in the first year.
Notification of relevant deadlines for submitting materials comes from the Dean to the chairs and individual faculty members.
Tenure, Promotion, CCE, and Reclassifications
CUNY faculty in all academic titles are eventually eligible for permanent employment status. Professorial faculty must apply for tenure in the fall of their seventh year of employment. CLTs must apply for tenure in the fall of their fifth year. Lecturers apply for a Certificate of Continuous Employment, also in fall of their fifth year.
Professorial faculty are eligible for promotion. Usually, the application for tenure and the application for promotion to Associate Professor coincide, and occur in the fall. (Only one application is required.) Promotions to Professor, along with any promotion that does not correspond to the application for tenure, are considered in the spring. For example, it is possible at CUNY for an Assistant Professor to receive tenure and not be promoted to Associate Professor. That promotion application, when it occurs, would be made in the spring.
CLTs are not eligible for promotion, but they may apply for a reclassification (to a Senior or Chief CLT). Such an application is made in the spring. If this is of interest to you, you should speak to your Chair and/or Dean as soon as possible.
Lecturers are not eligible for promotion. Reclassification to a professorial title is possible but relatively unusual. If this is of interest to you, you should speak to your Chair and/or Dean as soon as possible.
Time Frames for Creating Cases
| wdt_ID | Type of Case | Applies To | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | First year reappointment | Professorial faculty | Spring of 1st year of employment |
| 2 | First year reappointment | Lecturers | Spring of 2nd year of employment |
| 3 | Regular fall reappointment | All faculty | Fall |
| 4 | Third year review | Professorial faculty | Spring of 3rd year of employment |
| 5 | Tenure | Professorial faculty | Fall of 7th year of employment |
| 6 | Tenure | CLTs | Fall of 5th year of employment |
| 7 | CCE | Lecturers | Fall of 5th year of employment |
| 8 | Promotion to Associate Professor * | Professorial faculty | Fall of 5th year of employment |
| 9 | Promotion to Professor | Professorial faculty | Spring |
| 10 | Reclassification | CLTs | Spring |
*Promotion to Associate Professor usually coincides with the application for tenure, and only one application is required. When it does not coincide with the application for tenure, promotion to Associate Professor occurs in the spring.
