(V.) C. CHANGE OF STATUS FROM PART-TIME TO FULL-TIME OR VICE VERSA

1. From Part-Time to Full-Time:
   1. From time to time the needs of the department and the individual's need for or interest in part-time appointments may change. The transition to a full-time appointment may be made, providing that a full-time position becomes available.

   2. The transition to full-time must be approved by a majority of the voting members of the department eligible to vote on a full-time reappointment at the candidate's rank and, if the individual is a member of the temporary part-time Faculty, by the President, or, if the individual is a member of the permanent part-time Faculty, by the Committee on Tenure and Promotion.

   3. A temporary part-time Faculty member shall be considered for full-time appointment on an equal basis with and according to the same procedures as apply to any other candidate.

2. From Full-Time to Part-Time:
   1. An individual on a full-time appointment, temporary or permanent, may request transfer to a part-time position for a specific period of time. If a person is tenured, the request may be for a transfer to the permanent part-time Faculty. Such requests must be approved by the department and the President. The rules governing regular part-time appointments shall be applicable.

   2. Return to a full-time position, if it was not agreed upon when the change to part-time status was made, shall be in accordance with the provisions of V.C.1. above, except V.C.1.c. shall not apply.
