To comply with section II.E.l of the Faculty Handbook, each DSPH faculty member is evaluated on an annual basis.

The annual evaluation is a distinct process. That is, a faculty member may be making progress toward promotion and tenure and have a negligible year in terms of performance. Conversely, a faculty member may demonstrate strong annual performance but still not be making meaningful progress toward promotion and tenure.

| First Monday of November | Workload plan for next calendar year submitted to the AMWC Chair |
| First Monday of December | Activities and accomplishments from the previous calendar year (Year End Faculty Report) are submitted in accordance with workload policy. |
| Last day of Fall semester final exam week | AMWC advises faculty members on the submitted next calendar year goals, optional oral discussions are held, and formal agreement is reached. |
