Reappointment, Promotion, and Tenure/CCE

Full-time faculty in professorial titles, full-time instructors, full-time lecturers, and full-time college laboratory technicians are subject to annual reappointment until tenure or the certificate of continuous employment (CCE) is achieved. During their first full year of service, faculty and college laboratory technicians are considered for reappointment during the spring semester. All subsequent reappointments are considered during the fall semester.

Research associates and research assistants are also subject to annual reappointment; however, unlike faculty and college laboratory technicians, reappointment is based on the duration of the appointment.

Upon recommendation of the college and approval of the CUNY Board of Trustees, faculty in professorial titles are granted tenure effective September 1 of the eighth continuous year of appointment, lecturers are granted CCE effective September 1 of their sixth continuous year of appointment, and college laboratory technicians are granted tenure effective September 1 of their sixth continuous year of appointment.
