Deadlines for Calendar Year 2009

Please note:

  • College deadlines for some reports and forms vary, depending upon deadlines set by other University offices.
  • The general rule for items such as Faculty Activity Reports, TA-2 forms, and any other forms requiring the Dean’s approval, is to submit them to the College office several days prior to the deadline in order to allow time for campus mail delivery by the due date.
  • Deadlines specific to other University offices, which do not require routing through the College office, will be communicated to departments through campus mail and/or email announcements as they materialize.
  • The College will make every effort to send email reminders to departments announcing upcoming deadlines.
