To be eligible for a status-only appointment, the individual must hold full-time employment arrangements with another institution and have a job description that is primarily academic (research and teaching) in nature. Most often, status-only appointments are granted to employees of affiliated hospitals or research institutions, or faculty at other universities. Status-only appointments are non-salaried and generally receive no remuneration from the University of Toronto.
These appointments must be for a fixed term, usually one to three years. Terms longer than three years, but not more than five years, may be considered on a case by case basis. Where possible, they should end on June 30th. An activity report is to be submitted to the Department Chair on an annual basis.
