Accelerated promotion and/or tenure review is the normal promotion and tenure review process but accelerated. It is for special cases -- typically for new senior faculty hires -- if they do not qualify for expedited review. This typically means gathering materials off-cycle for the candidate and then prioritizing those materials for rapid review to meet the notification date specified in the offer letter.

Unit heads and deans who have an accelerated case must contact the vice provost for academic affairs early in the process to ensure that accelerated review by the UO FPC and Provost can occur with dispatch.
