WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA SOUTHEAST
FACULTY HANDBOOK WEBSITE
This faculty handbook outlines the University of Alaska Southeast organization, procedures of the Faculty Senate, academic ethics, rights, and responsibilities, curricular development protocols, support services, procedures and criteria for faculty evaluation and sabbatical leave, and other matters of faculty life.
The handbook resides with the Provost's Office in electronic form. Should you wish to have a hard copy of the handbook, you will need to print out sections from the online pages and the respective links. Forms referred to in this handbook site may be downloaded and saved and some may be filled in online.
Everything in the handbook proceeds from University of Alaska Board of Regents' Policies and Regulations and University of Alaska Southeast Policies. Click on the subject heading on the sidebar to obtain regularly needed information. Other important materials regarding University planning and governance reside within other UAS sites such as the Provost's office, the Chancellor's office, and the Faculty Senate Website. Faculty are encouraged to visit these Websites to be apprised of strategic planning, budget issues and other matters of importance.
Your handbook should be considered a companion to the above information as well as the academic catalog and Curriculum Guide.
Changes to this handbook Website will be necessary from time to time, as determined by the Board of Regents, collective bargaining, and your Faculty Senate in association with the University of Alaska Southeast administration. Notice of change will be posted on the UAS Provost and Faculty Senate Websites and when approved by the Senate, Provost and Chancellor, will be incorporated into the handbook Website.
The handbook should provide guidance in most cases, particularly in the areas of evaluation for retention, promotion, tenure, and sabbatical leave and curricular development. Should clarification and further guidance be required, we are always available to respond to you personally.
