Maintaining a USU Faculty Appointment

  • Signing and returning your faculty appointment acceptance letter.

    • All required items (listed above) are submitted to Dept. of Psychiatry to review and approve or decline. If declined, you will receive notification and reasons for decline. If accepted, you will receive notification by email and your documents will be sent to USU Human Resources. You will be contacted if clarifying information is required by Human Resources, who will then process your faculty appointment. Once processed, you will receive a letter from USU CHR requesting your signature to accept a faculty appointment; this letter MUST BE SIGNED AND RETURNED to Human Resources to finalize your appointment.

  • Receiving your Faculty Appointment Certificate.

    • Once your signed acceptance letter is received by Human Resources and your appointment is finalized, you will receive a certificate from Human Resources confirming your faculty appointment. If you have not received your certificate within 60 days of returning your signed letter, please call Ms. Henderson (301-295-9429) or Ms. Bell at (301-295-9425) to inquire on the status, and contact Ms. Cato for any further assistance.​
