The specific components required for full-time and adjunct faculty every year are summarized below (note that the materials required are not the same):

After the first 3 years teaching at the college, whether in a full-time or adjunct position, faculty follow a 3-year evaluation cycle. Each faculty member’s position in this cycle can be modified by a required Performance Improvement Plan or according to departmental needs.

Special case: Full-time faculty in their first 3 years at the college will submit materials after the spring semester; those reviews will take place and be returned during the summer semester.
