If you're part of an active promotion or tenure application cycle, Scholarly makes it easy to access, complete, and submit your assigned materials.
How to Access Your Evaluation
There are two main ways to open your application form:
1. From the Dashboard
If you have an active promotion application cycle:
Your Dashboard will show a task labeled with the promotion cycle name.
Click this item to open your promotion application form directly.
This is the fastest way to access a promotion or tenure application in progress.
2. From the Sidebar Menu
Alternately, to navigate to any of your evaluations:
Click the “Promotions” tab in the left-hand sidebar.
You'll see a list of your current and past promotion cycles, including the evaluation period and submission deadline.
Past promotion cycles won’t stay on your dashboard after submission, so the sidebar is your go-to for viewing previous cycles.
Navigating Your Promotion or Tenure Application Form
Once your promotion application is open, you’ll see three key areas:
1. General Information (Top of Page)
This includes:
The name of the application
The due date
The evaluation period for which activity will be reported (e.g., January 1 – December 31, 2024)
Where relevant, support contact information for both your institution and Scholarly
2. Left Navigation Panel
The left-hand menu lists the sections you'll need to complete for your specific application. These sections are configured by your institution and may include prompts for personal information, scholarly activities, narrative responses, or uploads.
As you move through the form:
You can complete the sections in any order and return to any section at any time using the menu on the left.
Track your progress by marking sections as complete
To add a check mark next to a section in the left navigation panel, check the "I have completed this section" box at the bottom of that section.
Until you do so, the section will remain unmarked, even if you have entered information.
3. Main Content Area
This is where you'll complete each section of the review. You may be asked to:
Confirm or update activities pulled in from your profile
Enter narrative responses
Upload documents
Some data (e.g., course evaluations or publications) may already be pre-filled from internal systems or external sources like Google Scholar.
Navigation Tips
Use the “Next” and “Previous” buttons at the bottom of each section to move sequentially.
Or jump directly to any section using the left navigation panel—there’s no required order.
