Faculty may be hired at CSUF as part-time lecturers, full-time
lecturers (hired on an emergency basis or hired after a nationwide
search on a renewable basis with the possible designation of distinguished
visiting lecturer), or tenure-track (probationary) faculty.
Normally, a probationary
faculty member is given a two-year initial appointment. Probationary
faculty are subject to reviews before they are re-appointed to third,
fourth, fifth or sixth probationary years or granted tenure. Appointment
to probationary status implies that a faculty member will eventually
be granted tenure if his or her performance meets the standards
in Section II of UPS 210.000 and of his or her approved Departmental
Personnel Standards.
Tenure-track faculty are considered probationary faculty until
they are awarded tenure or terminated.
