Requirement per the faculty handbook:
A cover letter requesting contract renewal and specifying the type of contract for which the applicant is eligible to apply.
EXAMPLE: I am writing to apply for a (blank)-year appointment for AY (relevant period). Please accept my contract renewal application.
The text of your cover letter should easily fit in this box. Or you can link to a separate document.
If you are cutting and pasting your cover letter from MS Word, make sure to first click on the clipboard with the W Word icon on it in the edit window. Do not paste into this box directly from Word or the formatting will be weird.
If you'd prefer to upload your cover letter as a Word or PDF file instead, use the link below to upload a new document.

Include courses taught and university service. Differentiate achievements covered since your last reappointment.
The c.v. generally follows this format:

Fellowships and Awards (Faculty Development Grants)
Teaching Experience (courses taught)
Research Experience
Publications and Presentations (indicate if peer-reviewed)
Creative Works
Works in Progress
Service - University and School
Related Professional Experience
