About Interfolio at UDM
±«Óãtv uses the Interfolio Review, Promotion and Tenure (RPT) system to support all faculty reviews (e.g., faculty annual reports, annual probationary reviews, mid-tenure/probationary reviews, tenure reviews, and promotion reviews) using a consistent digital workflow. Interfolio provides a secure, centralized platform for submitting materials, coordinating committee reviews and tracking progress through each stage of the review process.
The system aligns with UDM's existing promotion and tenure policies and timelines while streamlining administrative workflows and improving transparency throughout the review process. Interfolio enables faculty candidates, committee members and administrators to manage materials and evaluations efficiently in a single online environment.

As the University transitions to the Interfolio platform for all faculty reviews, each school or college will adhere to their existing timelines and deadlines. This approach is intended to make the transition straightforward while keeping the familiar review processes in place. Additional instructions and training for Interfolio will be shared soon along with information about implementation of faculty review submission processes. Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible, and support will be available throughout the process.
