Title 3.2 Application of Change-In-Title Procedures
Manual A. Classification Plan Management
Subsection 3. Change-In-Title
Status Revised 11/14/2007

The implementation of CIT procedures typically involves some change to positions in a designated classification series or to an individual position, and subsequently to incumbents in those positions.  Such required action permits incumbents to be appointed to positions in new or revised classifications without examination or certification from the employment register. Upon University System Office authorization, CIT procedures and subsequent personnel transactions may be applied in the following instances:

CIT Policy #1

CIT Policy #1 is applicable in instances where the University System Executive Director directs and approves a revision to an individual class specification, classification series, or several classifications and series to more accurately reflect occupational trends and/or the duties, responsibilities, and operational adjustments that are commonly being performed and assumed by incumbents who have been certified to those positions.

CIT Policy #1 is reserved for use by the University System Executive Director or designee, and is to be applied to all designated positions throughout the entire University System.

CIT Policy #2

CIT Policy #2 is applicable in instances when significant operational or technological changes have caused either an expansion or specialization of duties within a position, classification, or series of classifications (promotional line), and the present incumbents currently perform those expanded or specialized duties.

The use of CIT Policy #2 is typically requested by a University System employer and is applied to designated positions at a specific employment location.

CIT Policy #3

CIT Policy #3 is applicable in instances when there is a need to correct a long-standing misclassification of a position or group of similar positions, or there is a need to reallocate a position or group of positions to a bona fide substitute for the former class.

CIT Policy #3 is typically requested by a University System employer and is applied to designated positions at a specific employment location.
