Faculty Academic Development Plans are required for all new faculty and strongly recommended for any faculty who have not yet submitted promotion packets at the Assistant Professor level.
FADPs should be completed within your first 90 days, submitted to your Department Chair, Section Chief, or other direct supervisor, and used as a guide for any mentors assigned or chosen. You should also bring the FADP to your annual performance evaluation for review.
Please note: Department requirements for FADP completion may differ as may the expected goals, objectives, and annual performance goals used and associated metrics. Please consult your Department Chair/Section Chief/Direct Supervisor for more information.
Schedule a New Faculty/Career Planning 1:1 Consultation with the MCG Office for Faculty Success:
All consultations are free and confidential.
