Probationary Appointment - Change in Professional Title
A probationary appointment shall be an appointment for a period of one year which must be granted to a professional employee holding a professional title in which permanent appointment may be granted at a college of the University when the employee is appointed to a different professional title in which permanent appointment may be granted at the same college, or when the employee is appointed to a professional title listed in Appendix A (Trustees’ Policies) at the same college. A probationary appointment may be terminated at any time [by the college - if terminated, the employee returns to former status].
Service in a probationary appointment shall not count toward the satisfaction of the eligibility requirements for permanent appointment.
At any time, the college may ask the employee to return to his/her former professional title as soon as practical. If this happens to an employee in a term appointment, the time spent in a probationary appointment will count towards the eligibility requirements for permanent appointment in former title.
Change in Professional Title
A Professional employee holding a term appointment or a permanent appointment in a professional title, who is appointed to a different professional title at the same college, shall be given a probationary appointment in the different professional title.
Title Changes for Employees with Permanent Appointment
A professional employee holding a term appointment in one professional title that successfully completes a probationary appointment in a different professional title shall be granted a permanent appointment in the different professional title only. The employee does not retain permanent appointment in the former title.

Title Changes for Employees with Term Appointment
A professional employee who is serving in a term appointment in a professional title and successfully completes a probationary appointment in a different professional title shall be granted a new term appointment. The employee does not retain a term appointment in the former title. The new term appointment shall be for a duration not less than the unexpired time of the previous term appointment.
Exception: Time in probationary appointment cannot complete eligibility requirements for permanent appointment; employee will serve the remainder of the term appointment previously held in former title. Appropriate notice is still required.
