Continuance
Tenure-eligible faculty undergo Continuance in the cycle described in Section IV: Faculty Continuance and Tenure as described in the Faculty Handbook. Faculty undergoing Continuance create an Annual Activity and Continuance Packet (AAcP) following departmental/school and college guidelines. Note: the same packet is submitted into both the Continuance workflow (by August 20) AND the Annual Evaluation of Faculty workflow (by department/college deadline) through WKU’s Workflow Portal.

Top Two Submission Errors:
-
Faculty attempt to upload packets that are larger than 40 MB. In Adobe Pro and the online version of Adobe, the Optimize function allows you to shrink files. There are also a number of free compression services on the web; ITS has recommended https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/online/compress-pdf.html as a relatively easy and reliable service.
-
Faculty neglect to save packets on their computers with the appropriate naming conventions before beginning the workflow (Lastname-Firstname-AAcP-2025-26.pdf).
