* Evaluation in the sixth year of the tenure clock is not a reappointment but rather an evaluation for continuous appointment (i.e. tenure). Formal evaluations are not required in year 3 and year 5 unless called for within a previous reappointment or if requested by the tenure-home unit or the candidate.
The due dates for recommendations are based on years at UNL, while the fourth year review is based on one's tenure clock, that is, the cumulative number of years credited for progress towards tenure. The "Date of Initial Appointment/Years at UNL" and the "Tenure Clock Years" coincide when the faculty member's initial appointment is the first year of their "Specific-term" (tenure leading) appointment here at UNL.
