The Principal of RMC has further amended the deadline extension for promotion applications. Please see the e-mail below that was sent to individual candidates. We publish the message here to help ensure that it reaches all candidates.

UTs who have submitted a notice of intent to apply for promotion in 2020 who did not receive this message from the RMC Principal should contact him, copying their Dean and the CMCFA representative on the promotion committees, Sylvain Leblanc (leblanc@cmcfa-apcmc.ca).

Dear candidate,

One of the concerns that has been raised by a number of applicants is access to the teaching assessments and other documents that are currently unavailable due to our network issues. I do not know when these documents will be available to you, but I already have my own concerns that a 4-week extension may not be enough. I am therefore extending the due date to 16 November 2020.

My other concern, however, is that I give the rest of the process enough time so that promotion decisions can be made before 1 July 2021. After your submission, the promotion process requires: DPC + candidate representation, time for external referees to be identified and to provide their referee letters, PPC + candidate representation, FPC + candidate representation. Hence, I believe that this is the latest extension I can give without a delay in the complete promotion process.

What is important, however, is that you have access to the information you need to be able to represent yourself properly and so, should you not be able to meet the application date of 16 November 2020, please let me know prior to this date.

All the best with your promotion application.

Sincerely,

Harry
