Faculty members receive a roster at the first class meeting.  They should add the names and telephone numbers of any students not on the roster and return that information to the division of continuing education and workforce development.  Faculty members should also instruct students to call continuing education to verify registration or register before the second class meeting, if there is space.

B.  Letters of Assignment

Adjunct faculty letters of assignment include the name of the faculty member’s courses, his/her salary, term, signatures, a line for the faculty member to indicate his/her social security number or colleague identification number when signing the agreement.  Salaries will be divided into equal amounts among the pay periods of the agreement.  When the faculty member receives his/her letter, it is important that he/she sign it and return it to the continuing education division immediately.  All necessary documentation (tax forms, application, etc) must be completed before any paychecks will be issued and are normally required and received before the letter of assignment is issued.  Paychecks will be made available at the college on regular paydays.  Checks that are not picked up at the college by 2:00 p.m. will be mailed directly to the faculty member’s home.

C.  Course Outlines

The continuing education division requires that each faculty member submit a course syllabus that indicates topics covered as well as the objectives that students should be able to complete at the end of the course. 

D.  Class Meetings

It is necessary that classes be held on the date that they are originally scheduled.  In case of an emergency (i.e., weather, illness, etc.), the faculty member must notify the continuing education division.  If a class meeting is missed, arrangements must be made for making up the time.

E.  Administrative Aides at Public Schools

The administrative aides at public schools will have a copy of procedures to follow for emergencies arising (i.e., fire, injury, etc.).  Administrative aides will regularly bring information from the college and will notify the college of faculty members’ needs.  Room assignments and arrangements within the school should be handled through the administrative aide.  In off-campus locations where there is no administrative aide, faculty will be advised about the necessary procedures.

F.  Faculty Responsibilities

The complete list of faculty responsibilities and necessary procedures is included in the continuing education noncredit adjunct faculty handbook.  Faculty receive a copy of this handbook during the interview process.
