…if you were employed at another SUNY campus and have recently become employed at SUNY Oneonta you can, at the time of your appointment, or within six months of your appointment at SUNY Oneonta, request up to three years of service be counted towards your permanent appointment?
Please note the following as per the SUNY Policies of the Board of Trustees:
Service Credit
- In determining eligibility for continuing appointment under subdivision (b) of this section, satisfactory full-time prior service in academic rank at any other accredited academic institution of higher education may, at the request of the appointee and in the discretion of the Chancellor, or designee, be credited as service up to a maximum of three years at the time of appointment at a college. Waiver of all or part of this service credit shall be granted upon written request of the employee to the chief administrative officer no later than six months after the date of initial appointment.
- In computing consecutive years of service for the purposes of appointment or reappointment to the academic staff, periods of leave of absence at full salary shall be included; periods of leave of absence at partial salary or without salary and periods of part-time service shall not be included, but shall not be deemed an interruption of otherwise consecutive service.
- A temporary cessation of service credit toward continuing appointment shall be provided, at the employee’s request, commencing with the birth/adoption/foster care placement of a child. Such written request by an academic employee with an academic year obligation shall be approved for the time requested, for one semester or two semesters. Such written request by an academic employee with a calendar year obligation shall be approved for the time requested, for six months or one year.
- Each employee who as of May 6, 2020, is currently serving in a position of academic rank who has not yet attained continuing appointment status, and who is not currently under review, shall have an automatic one-year extension of the time to continuing appointment without change in title, full-time equivalent, or other employment status. Any employee in a position of academic rank who has not yet attained continuing appointment status may opt out of the automatic one-year extension referenced above and be considered for continuing appointment based on their original schedule by submitting a request, in writing, to their Department Chair, with copy to their Dean and Provost. Timelines for such submission shall be determined at each campus. These provisions shall not apply to any employee in a position of academic rank who has already been provided with a notice of non-renewal.
- Each employee who was hired between May 6, 2020 and June 30, 2021 and appointed to a position of academic rank, who has not yet attained continuing appointment status, and who is not currently under review, shall have an automatic one-year extension of the time to continuing appointment without change in title, full-time equivalent or other employment status. Any employee in a position of academic rank who has not yet attained continuing appointment status may opt out of the automatic one-year extension referenced above and be considered for continuing appointment based on their original schedule by submitting a request, in writing, to their Department Chair, with copy to their Dean and Provost.
