“Program director” means a person appointed by the Board of Governors of The University of British Columbia on a full-time or part-time basis to direct a program or programs in Continuing Studies; it includes such categories as assistant program director, and equivalent positions;
2.01 Appointments may be (a) term appointments or (b) confirmed appointments. The term of every appointment, and the termination date, shall be clearly stated on the appointment notice received by the appointee.
i) Term appointments with review are appointments for a specified term, normally for two years. Renewal of an individual’s appointment is normally for a term of three years. Appointments with review carry no implication of automatic renewal, but do imply that the appointee will be considered for a confirmed appointment in accordance with the criteria and procedures described below.

3.04 Confirmed appointments are granted to individuals who have maintained a high standard of performance in their professional work and show promise of continuing to do so. Such performance includes their capacity to maintain program standards of high quality, and to develop and maintain public or professional interest. The decision to grant a confirmed appointment will take into account the interest of Continuing Studies and the University in maintaining strength and balance within Continuing Studies and in the University.
