TCU Faculty Handbook

In the summer of 2023, this online Faculty Handbook was created by transferring information directly from the Faculty Section of the 2022-23 Faculty Staff Handbook to the Provost’s website. The process was carried out by the Provost’s Director of Communications with the knowledge and support of the Faculty Senate Executive Committee. The online Faculty Handbook information was carefully scrutinized and reviewed against the 2022-23 Faculty and Staff Handbook by a special committee of the Faculty Senate, led by 2023 President Omar Harvey, for accuracy of the transferred information.

Purpose

The Faculty Handbook is a ready reference for answers to most questions concerning TCU’s academic policies and procedures. It is not meant to be all-inclusive. More detailed information may be secured from appropriate personnel, websites, and/or publications. The provisions herein are as current as possible and may be reviewed, amended, or revoked following reasonable opportunity for consultation with the segment(s) of the University affected by proposed changes. If errors are found, please email the Director of Communications for the Provost, Elaine Cole, at e.cole@tcu.edu.

This handbook is for informational purposes only. The provisions of this handbook do not constitute a contract, express or implied, between any staff or faculty member and Texas Christian University. The provisions of the handbook are subject to change without notice.
