Suggest using the same Career Conversation form and time period as staff/postdocs. For reviews for Graduate Assistant/Associates, please see the GA Manual.

Per UHAP 5.3, all department heads, school directors, deans, and other designated administrators will have a five-year administrative review in order to provide an opportunity outside of the annual performance review to assess long-range goals and objectives. The Office of the Dean coordinates these reviews each year using procedures set forth by UHAP and the Office of Faculty Affairs.
