Requesting Continuing Faculty Positions

Please use the TRAC Position Request form (available here; the TRAC dashboard is updated each year around mid-November, and the Student:Faculty Ratio Dashboard is updated shortly after conclusion of the Fall semester) via Dean’s offices at the applicable time of year) when seeking approval for a continuing (TE or MYRN) position to search in the following academic year and start date in the year after that.  Requests to search in 2027-28 for faculty who would start in summer/fall 2028 are due to Dean's offices by Feb 1st 2027. There are two circumstances where submission of this form is not required in order to be approved for a continuing faculty position: 

  • If a tenure-eligible faculty member is unsuccessful in applying for tenure, the department will retain the line without needing approval through TRAC.
  • If a department fills a TE position with a faculty member who was already in an MYRN appointment, the department will retain the MYRN line without needing approval through TRAC.
