Appointments in the Faculty of Design

Each academic appointment in the Faculty of Design is made under one of the following titles and reflects the career patterns of individuals and their relationship to the school's departments. Except for tenured appointments, all appointments are for a fixed term and there are no obligations for reappointment or promotion beyond the fixed term.

Under extraordinary circumstances, the maximum fixed term and maximum limit of time may be adjusted upon recommendation of the relevant department and the Senior Faculty Council, approval of the dean, and, where appropriate, approval of the president or the president's designee.
