Faculty Handbook – August 2022 43 1. Web-based submissions MUST be accompanied by a “hard copy” saved on some form of portable storage (disk, thumb drive, etc.). That hard copy should be turned in to the VPAA office. 2. Electronic submissions should be in a format easily accessed by all. For example, file types must be usable on all commonly used operating systems, and websites should be viewable on the commonly used browsers. The committee highly recommends putting files in pdf form. 3. Content should follow the order and content outlined for paper submissions and be presented in a user-friendly manner. For example, it is highly recommended that electronic submissions have separate folders/link for teaching, research, and service, as well as separate sub-folders/links for discrete subjects within each folder (e.g., individual folders for conference papers, articles, and professional presentations within a research folder). 4. File names should follow the subject matter of the file so the content of the file is readily identifiable in the name (e.g., a file name “Fall 2016 SOIs”). 5. All web-based submissions should be set so that they may be viewed only by those officially involved in the promotion and tenure process.
