Submitting and Accessing 5-Year Post-Tenure Review Materials in Vibe
The post-tenure review process in Vibe is essential for career development funding and compliance with NJ statutes and agreements. Users need to follow specific guidelines when submitting and accessing materials through Vibe, including retaining copies of all documents due to Vibe's limitations in storing and reusing materials. The process involves stages for submission by reviewees, where Academic Affairs will manage the list of faculty members scheduled for review each semester. Reviewees will receive instructions via email and access their review dossier through Vibe.

Submitting and Accessing 5-year Post- Tenure Review Materials in Vibe
Initial points: Five-year post-tenure review is stipulated by both NJ Statutes and the NJ-AFT Agreement; process is governed by MOA 99 5-year review is tied to the career development funding MOA 99 indicates that all materials generated for and by this process will be in electronic form The College is currently using Vibe to manage its personnel processes
Tips Vibe does not function like Google Drive. You cannot store documents in Vibe and access them later. You cannot reuse these materials for other Vibe applications (eg, SOSA) Make sure you retain copies of all your documents. 3
Two Concerns Vibe does not work well with Internet Explorer. You may get an error message if you submit from IE. Files have to be uploaded individually. Whatever the instructions say, Drag and Drop does not work consistently with Vibe. 4
STAGE I: Submission of materials by the reviewee Every semester, Academic Affairs will populate Vibe with the list of faculty members scheduled to undergo five-year review that semester. Only this group will have permission to create entries with their applications Reviewees will receive an email with the link to the 5-year review s starting page
This is what the starting page will look like. Click on New Five Year Review to begin:
After clicking New Five Year Review, each reviewee will see this page. Reviewees should fill out the three fields at the top of the page and follow the other instructions.
After filling out and saving the initial page, which creates the cover page of the application, each reviewee will receive an email from Vibe with a subject line Your submission for Five-Year Review has been received and message body with their name as clickable link Reviewees should keep this email. The link will take them to their Five-Year Review dossier in Vibe. Reviewees will return to this page to add or update materials, to submit materials by the September 15 (or February 15) deadline, and for any later stages of the process that may require their input
Course Summary Reports Please note that the 5-Year Review Process (unlike the Promotions process) requires the the submission of the past five years of Student FeedbackClass Summary Reports. You do not need to include the individual student feedback response reports.
All student evaluations from Fall, 2014 and later are stored in PAWS. Unfortunately, PAWS does not currently allow you to share only the Summary Sheets. Therefore, you have two choices: 1) You may share access to all of your student feedback with the PRC. In PAWS, go to Main Menu (not in the Faculty Center) > TCNJ Process > Student Records > Course Feedback > Course Feedback Results, Manage My Shares (For more details, see https://recreg.tcnj.edu/files/2014/11/Sharing-Course- Feedback-With-Committee-Members.pdf ) OR 2) You may print all of the summary sheets, then scan them into one PDF file. (For more instructions, see https://recreg.tcnj.edu/wp- content/uploads/sites/166/2014/11/How-to-Print-to-PDF-your-Course- Feedback-Individual-Student-Responses-and-Class-Summary.pdf )
Using the link provided in the email from Vibe, reviewees will be taken to a page like this one to upload their materials. Reviewees should carefully follow instructions listed on the page, which differ slightly from those in this example.
Stage II: PRC review Once a reviewee clicks OK to send materials to PRC, all PRC members will receive an email from Vibe with the subject line Reviewee s dossier is ready for departmental review and message body with the reviewee s name as clickable links PRC members can either follow the link to access the reviewee's materials, OR log into Vibe, click My Teams in the Menu bar, and select the appropriate team listed as the department name followed by 5-year
After clicking the name of the reviewee whose materials they wish to see, PRC members will see this. ONLY the chairs of PRCs should follow the instructions regarding sending materials back for revision and uploading the letter.
The PRC will meet with the reviewee and, if needed, request revising of the materials If the PRC asks for revisions, its Chair will click on Send back to reviewee for revising. The reviewee will receive an email from Vibe with the subject line The review committee has asked you to revise your documents and the message body containing a clickable reviewee s name The reviewee will use this link to get to their materials, then revise them as requested by the committee. To return the revised materials to the PRC, the reviewee should follow the instructions on the page
Having received the message from the PRC, the reviewee will see this:
When the reviewee has submitted the revised documents to the PRC, Committee members will receive an email with the subject line Reviewee has finished revising documents and message body with the reviewee s name as clickable link. The PRC members will follow the link, review the revised documents, and decide whether they concur with the revised documents or not. The PRC will write a letter indicating their concurrence or non- concurrence, citing evidence in support of their observations. All PRC members will sign the letter. ONLY the PRC chair will upload the Committee's letter and follow the instructions in Vibe to move the entry on to the Dean.
This is what the PRC members will see*: *The version of the revised document will display as v1.1, not v1.0
To aid in their review, PRC members can easily access the original versions of any revised document under the File Versions tab
