PROMOTE is an application that facilitates the promotion process for Georgia Tech Faculty members. Faculty members who are eligible for promotion will be added to Promote as a candidate in one of these profiles:

• Academic Promotion & Tenure

• Research Faculty Promotion

• Critical Review

• Academic Non-Tenure Track Promotions

• Tenure on Appointment

The entire review process can be broken into 3 main sections:

1. Candidate Dossier - where a candidate's core information and prepared materials get submitted into the PROMOTE system; confirmed by the unit and Faculty Affairs' after it is submitted

2. External Review - where chairs and unit heads manage the process of soliciting letters from external reviewers to accompany the candidate dossier

3. Internal Review - where candidate dossiers are reviewed by various committees of faculty members at Georgia Tech starting at the Unit-level reviews and ending at the President-level review
