RTP Community How-Tos for Tenure Track

RTP containers are in , which uses Moodle. You do not need to request your official RTP containers, those are requested for you by your college. For more information on the container creation process, including the timeline, please see this page.

For review years 1/3/5/PETF, your container name will likely follow this pattern: 鈥淟ast name, First name Academic Year.鈥� The naming convention for the other review years is different. That process is handled by Faculty Affairs. Questions concerning those containers and process should be directed to Veronica Arias.

Once finished, the only thing you need to do is ensure your container is published. You do not need to send it to anyone or enroll the reviewers in your container, that will be done by your college. But don鈥檛 worry, 鈥減ublished鈥� does not mean public. Published just means that it will be visible to the specific reviewers added by your college.
