Offering Letters

An Offering Letter serves as the legally binding contract between the future employee and the University, thus its contents must be correct and precise. There are three basic types of offering letters. Depending on employee type, any new appointment would require one of these letters:

1. New Administrative Appointment
2. Tenure-Track Faculty Appointment
3. Temporary Faculty/Administrative Appointment

Temporary appointments would require a letter each employment period. Regular ongoing faculty and administrators do not require reappointment letters each year.
