Available to Associate and full Professors and non-tenure track/professional faculty.
The Personal Circumstances Flag is analogous to the Probationary Period Extension that tenure-track faculty are able to request. This allows these faculty to designate a year within the scope of a multi-year review as having been impacted by personal circumstances (related to the pandemic or not). The notation, but not the reason for it, would be available to review committees and provide context for the flagged year.
Requests made in 2020-21 can be associated with events occurring in 2019-20. The flag is not available for events that occurred prior to 2019-20.
The flag can be received by a faculty member twice while in rank. A request to rescind an approved flag may be rescinded in writing.
See EVPP: Personal Circumstances Flag for more information.
