The Personnel Action Form (PAF) is what faculty submit when applying for Reappointment, Tenure, or Promotion. This page features information of importance to all full-time junior faculty who must fill out the PAF every year, as well as senior faculty going through the PAF process for promotion. PAFs are submitted to Department Chairs and Directors in October every Fall. Please note that all deadlines for submission are firm.
