Unlike regular positions, which are ongoing positions with no defined or determined ending, Limited Term positions are created or budgeted for some defined period that is expected to be at least 6 months, but that is not expected to continue indefinitely.
Typical examples are positions that are created or funded through grants or sponsored projects, where the life cycle of the grant may be one to three years.
Other examples are positions only for a limited period due to a special campus project or need. Limited Term positions of at least 50% FTE are benefits-eligible, and must be posted/advertised just like a regular position. Positions expected to exist for more than 3 years should be established as regular positions.
