P&T eFile The dossier (P&T eFile) submitted by a candidate for tenure and/or promotion (associate or full) will be an electronic file within the Blackboard environment. The candidate and the Dean’s Office will be the only ones with administrative capability—including uploading documents. Please ensure that documents (pdf format only) in the P&T eFile are written in a readable font style and size. To assist the candidate, the copier in the Office of Academic Affairs will be setup to facilitate scanning of documents (creating a pdf version) and sending them to the candidate’s Linfield email account. P&T Committee (Linfield College) P&T eFile Prep 11 and 13 Sept. 2018 2 / 22

P&T eFile The Office of Academic Affairs will provide candidates with a template (in Blackboard) for constructing their P&T eFile along with instructions on how to use it—including how to upload a document (pdf format only) and grant access (read only) to their eFile. In addition, Amy Scholer is happy to provide individual tutorials to candidates. P&T Committee (Linfield College) P&T eFile Prep 11 and 13 Sept. 2018 3 / 22

P&T eFile If you have questions about the content of a P&T eFile, please ask me (chair of the P&T Committee) or a division representative. Questions regarding the logistics of managing a P&T eFile within the Blackboard environment should be sent to the Office of Academic Affairs (Amy Scholer or Meridith Symons). We are all happy to help. :) P&T Committee (Linfield College) P&T eFile Prep 11 and 13 Sept. 2018 4 / 22
