2022-2023 Dates for Notification to Faculty of Nonrenewal
Date: March 25, 2022
To: Deans, Campus Presidents
From: Dorothy "Dee Dee" Campbell, Interim Provost and Chief Academic Officer
Re: 2022-2023 Dates for Notification to Faculty of Nonrenewal
Probationary and other non-tenured track faculty are required by APR policy to be notified by "x" amount of months prior to their end date depending on their number of years of service at NMSU. All necessary reviews and approvals from the Provost Office must be completed before the delivery of the formal notice or you risk missing a deadline. Ideally, please plan to submit your notice of nonrenewal no later than a month before the notification deadline.
The application of policy language yields precise dates based on the Spring 2023 grades being due by 5:00pm on May 16, which is how the end of the academic year contracts for 9-month faculty members should be determined.
If the employee's offer letter includes the appointment period with both a start date and an end date, this constitutes written notice. In this instance, the employee should be notified as soon as possible whether employment will be available for the semester or year following the appointment end date.
Extension Associates should be notified of nonrenewal three months (if in the first year) or six months (if second or more year) prior to their anniversary date.
Departments can collaborate with HR Employee & Labor Relations (646-2449) on a notification letter.
