Full-Time Lecturer Evaluations
Overview
Faculty Affairs and Records oversees the evaluation of Full-time Lecturers. In 2024-2025, candidates and reviewers will use Interfolio’s Review, Promotion & Tenure platform for these evaluations.
The classification of "full time lecturer," per UPS 210.070, Section II, "shall refer to the time base to which one is entitled under the terms of the academic-year or multi-year contract."
Access to Interfolio is available through the CSUF faculty portal. There will be 12 categories within Interfolio for Lecturers to upload their documents.
Faculty are required to have all of their materials uploaded by 5pm on the deadline. For Counselors (CAPS) and Library Faculty there are some documents that are specific to thier portfolios and they are listed under the Templates and Forms section below.
UPS 210.070 defines the four types of evaluations. The period of review for each evalution type is different and the type of evaluation that Lecturer faculty undergo is determined by length of employment at CSUF and terms of current contract:
- 6-year comprehensive evaluation
- Year 3 of 3 periodic evaluation
- Annual Periodic evaluation
- Range Elevation evaluation
Descriptions and materials to aid in the preparation of all evaluation types, except Range Elevations, are provided on this page. Further information about Range Elevations can be found on th FAR Range Elevation Information Page.
