Welcome Tenure-Track Faculty
Welcome Tenure-Track Faculty!
Congratulations on your new tenure-track position! At CSUN, a little less than half of all faculty are tenure-track, and a little more than half are lecturers (also called temporary or part-time faculty).
As a tenure-track faculty member, you will have additional responsibilities and expectations beyond those of your part-time colleagues, such as service and research. You may wish to focus on your teaching during your first few months at CSUN, but we recommend that you review Module 5: Find Support for Your Scholarship and Module 6: Navigate Service & Committee Work for a basic overview of those additional requirements. This handbook will always be available, so please feel welcome to come back and revisit any topic at your convenience!
Special Tip
Most of the information in this handbook is relevant to everyone teaching at CSUN, but keep an eye out for special notes indicating when information is more or less applicable for tenure-track folks like you!
The first few modules are for all faculty at CSUN. Select the button below to start from the beginning, or select “Modules” in the left navigation pane to browse categories of information.
