It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with Article 10 of the YSU/YSU-OEA collective bargaining agreement, which outlines the various processes. It is also important to familiarize yourself with your department governance document and any further discussion of these processes.
There is flexibility in how you organize and submit your materials. Each uploaded file should be titled in a clear, concise manner (for example, “Promotion Application” or “Pages of Evidence” or “Teaching Support Materials”). Keep your reviewers in mind when organizing and naming your files. Will your file names make sense to a reviewer?
Limit the number of files you upload in your application. If you have a large number of files, consider grouping them together into combined files (for example: Teaching Evidence, Scholarship Evidence, Service Evidence). Requiring reviewers to sort through and manage a large number of individual files risks a file being overlooked.
Allowed file types include (this is not a comprehensive list):
- Word documents (.docx)
- PowerPoint documents (.PPT)
- PDF documents (.PDF)
- Images (.JPEG, .PNG, etc.)
- Video (.MP4, .MOV, .AVI, etc.)
