Welcome WVU Faculty

This website is overseen by the Associate Provost for Academic Personnel. The Associate Provost for Academic Personnel is the Provost’s principal deputy in all matters involving faculty hiring, promotion, tenure and appeal. The Associate Provost is also responsible for matters relating to university faculty awards, sabbatical leaves, and a variety of professional development programs.

The West Virginia University Electronic Faculty Handbook provides general information about the University and its programs, with an emphasis on those policies and procedures that affect faculty. For more detailed information, the handbook directs readers to resources on the University’s web pages.

In addition to the overviews and web references found in the handbook, faculty will also find useful information in University catalogs, the student handbook (The Mountie), the West Virginia University Campus Directory, and college or school publications.

The handbook is subject to change by the University governing boards, University administrators, and the faculty. It is for informational purposes and is not intended to be a contract.
