Hiring with Continuing Status

It is possible to count previous service within or outside of the University toward the Academic Specialist Appointment System probationary periods. The major criteria for awarding credit for previous service are the level of performance and similarity of duties in the previous and new positions. Requests for recognition of prior employment service as applicable to Academic Specialist Appointment System service requires a written recommendation by the unit administrator, written concurrence of the dean/separately reporting director, and the written approval of the provost.
