External Reviewer Questions

Reimbursement: How does reimbursement work? What gets reimbursed? When do I get paid?

Each external reviewer is provided a $750 stipend for their service. The university reimburses for the cost of transportation, individual meals, and lodging. To be reimbursed, reviewers need to turn in ITEMIZED receipts attached to an invoice provided by the Provost Office. Reimbursements are paid AFTER the external reviewers’ final report is received by the Office.

Scheduling and Timing: How long is external review? What arrangements do I need to make?

External review is scheduled for one day that is made up of several meetings, with the first meeting typically starting at 8am, and the last meeting starting at 4:30pm. The parking pass will be arranged by the Provost Office, and will be available at Info Booth 2 at the Prairie Street Parking Kiosk in the B4 parking lot the morning of the review. Information about travel arrangements will be sent via email to you once a date for the review has been confirmed.

What goes in the external reviewers' report?

See External Reviewer Report Template (.doc). There is only one report that both reviewers write and submit it together, if there are two reviewers.

How long do we (the external reviewers) have to write the report?

Three weeks after the exit meeting is usually recommended for submission of the report.
