Major events related to the ATP procedures are included in this timeline. Since the Response Option available to the candidates affects the due dates, unit heads are advised to consult the ATP Guidelines for details about ATP procedures and, if necessary, stipulate an individualized schedule that allows adequate time for a response for Candidates’ Response Options, should the stated timeline prove inappropriate. At any time, those responsible for meeting the timeline may submit materials before the given date. The page in the ATP Policy related to each due date is included as a reference
