The University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) is a public institution and many of the job positions on our campus are subject to the employment rules established for state universities.

Some of these positions meet specialized administrative, professional, or technical needs as defined by the State Civil Service Act and are considered exempt from standard Civil Service practice or guidelines. These are known as Academic Professional positions.

Academic Professional employees can be found in many faculty and administrative positions throughout our colleges and campus organizations.

Academic Professionals are employed on a contract basis. Generally contracts are renewed annually, however, Academic Professional employees do not have an assumed right to indefinite continued employment.

A Notice of Non-Reappointment is the formal process of notifying the Academic Professional that their contract will not be renewed and is required for the termination of any full-time, non-visiting Academic Professional employee.

To complete the process, a Notice of Non-Reappointment (Terminal) Letter is presented to the employee and submitted to the UIC HR Service Center via HR Front End transaction.
