Office of the Provost

Dear Colleagues,

I write to announce that UConn has implemented Interfolio’s Review, Promotion & Tenure module for the submission and review of all promotion, tenure, and midpoint review cases for the AY 23-24 PTR cycle. Interfolio RPT is a secure, online workflow platform that provides customizable tools to manage all of the documents, workflows, committees, communication, and outcomes associated with review-based academic decisions.

We thank you all for your engagement, enthusiasm, and input as we’ve worked over the past year to configure this new system and prepare for its launch. As of today, departmental system administrators may now begin creating cases within RPT for faculty who will be coming up for promotion (both tenure track and non-tenure track), tenure, or midpoint review in the 23-24 PTR cycle utilizing the department- and action-specific templates.

To faculty, if you are scheduled for an applicable review this year, your department will initiate your case in the near future. When this happens, you will receive an email notifying you a review has been initiated on your behalf.  Select “View Case” in the email and you will be taken to your account home page where you’ll be able to access your case and begin to upload required documents.

For questions related to the Interfolio Review Promotion & Tenure module or Dossier module, Interfolio provides a robust library of help articles on its website, including: 

Quick Reference Guide to Dossier Institution
Best Practices and Resources (Video)
Candidate’s Guide to Interfolio Review Promotion & Tenure

Manage Your Dossier Materials
Dossier Help Articles
Use Guidelines to Prepare for Reviews
Help for Sharing and Receiving Feedback on Dossier Materials 

There are also several UConn specific resources available on the Interfolio @ UConn webpage, including comprehensive user guides and video tutorials.

You can also reach out to the Interfolio Scholar Services Team at help@interfolio.com or 877.997.8807 (9-6 Eastern, M-F). 

The Provost’s Office staff will also continue to host monthly consultations by appointment to meet individually with faculty or staff who have questions about Interfolio RPT or Dossier. Contact provost@uconn.edu with any questions or to schedule an appointment.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Shoulson, Ph.D.
Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs
