Fixed-term appointments are made outside the Continuing Appointment System. Individuals may be appointed on a fixed-term basis at any rank and in any professional area. All fixed-term appointments have a specific termination date. The University has no obligation to provide reappointment or extension of a fixed-term appointment beyond the ending date. Such appointments do not convey Continuing Status at any time irrespective of the number of times the appointment is renewed.
