The Classified Handbook and union contracts contain policies and information for classified employees. The unclassified personnel category includes all faculty, academic staff, limited appointments, and graduate assistants. Faculty employees hold the rank of professor, associate professor, assistant professor or instructor. Faculty are either tenured or have probationary appointments. Academic staff employees hold job titles such as lecturer, program manager, student services coordinator, director and many others.
Limited appointments are administrators who have no set time period for employment.
They serve at the discretion of the appointing authority. Some hold concurrent appointments which may be faculty, academic staff or classified, although all limited appointees have an academic staff title. Graduate assistants are students enrolled in a graduate program at UW-Stout and who are also employed by the university.
