This is for full- and part-time permanent state employees. The annual review period for all MPPs is July 1 through June 30. Annual evaluations are due to People & Culture by September 15, 2026. The MPP Performance Review Process is designed to:
Link individual goals and objectives to SJSU's strategic plan
Provide a vehicle for on-going feedback and dialogue
Develop leadership skills and competencies
Acknowledge strengths, contributions, and efforts
Below are the instructions and timelines for MPPs in Academic Affairs whose evaluations require a signature from the Provost’s Office, either as the evaluator or as the one-up signer. Colleges and units may establish their own timelines for MPPs whose evaluations do not require review or signature from the Provost’s Office.
Your self-evaluation is due to the Provost, with a copy to Jessica Larsen, by 5 pm, Friday, July 17, 2026.
Self-Evaluation: Jessica will send each Dean and Provost’s Direct Report a pre-filled self-evaluation form individually. Please complete the form and submit it by the deadline above.
Future Goals: Goals for the 2026-27 review cycle will be established by the Provost during the evaluation process.
