Schedule of Peer Reviews

Directions for Setting Termination Dates
The dates listed are projected. Actual dates are announced at the beginning of each peer review session. For efficiency, we simply calculate the termination date as 6 months beyond the projected implementation date. If you have used a different date, there’s no need to change it if it’s beyond the projected implementation date. This method eases our coordination in the event peer review sessions are added or postponed.
