Classification/Reclassification Review of Staff Positions

The classification of a position may be reviewed when the duties, responsibilities, and authority of a position substatially differ from those in the University's standard classification description, while also fulfilling a department/administrative unit's needs for a different classification, the position is eligible for consideration of reclassification.

Reclassification of a position may be requested at any time of the year. The College of Liberal Arts & Sciences Human Resource Director can advise departments on reclassification proposals, (contact Nancy Fick). Proposals will be reviewed by the Collegiate Reclassification Review Committee and recommendation forwarded to central Human Resources for approval. Step by step instructions are available at Policy for P&S Classification Review or Reclassifying Merit Positions. CLAS requires a current resume be attached to the Change of Status form for both Merit and P&S positions.

If reclassification of a state-funded position would result in an increase in salary, the DEO must request and receive approval for additional funds from the Dean.
