Please see the details below about Part Time Faculty (adjunct - code 112) appointments. It is our goal to onboard all Adjuncts BEFORE their official start date to ensure IT access and timely paychecks. Please see below for a reference guide and important guidelines

Appointment Overview

• Part time faculty (adjuncts) are primarily appointed as Instructors of Record 

• All "new hire" adjuncts must be pre-approved by the applicable Divisional Dean before a formal offer is made

• Adjunct appointments follow the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between NYU and Local 7902

• Per the CBA, adjunct Instructors of Record are paid per "Contact Hour" with an additional "Administrative Service Payment (ASP)", depending on the number of credits for the course. 

  1. • Compensation rates are available in OASIS (internal link). If there are plans to appoint a non-student adjunct for a higher rate, please submit a justification along with a copy of the person’s CV/resume to A&S Payroll in advance for review

     • ASP amounts auto-populate in OASIS in accordance with the CBA 

• Additional compensation is provided as an “Other Academic Duty” for completing OEO 150: NYU Sexual Harassment Prevention Training. These additional compensation payments are managed by A&S Payroll

• Payments for other duty types, for example appointments for tutoring, thesis advising, or panel participants, should be reviewed in advance with A&S Payroll

• A&S Academic Appointments provides HR management for adjuncts and oversees additional types of adjunct transactions, such as Article X letters, the Adjunct Professional Development Fund, & the Adjunct Technology Fund

Planning & Payments

• To plan course staffing needs for each semester, we use OASIS (Arts & Science Information System)

  • • Specifically, Departments first enter the course staffing information (instructor & course name, etc) into NYU CourseLeaf (CLSS) and then compensation amounts for these appointments are separately entered in OASIS

    • Once the compensation data is entered, we utilize the following process to review and finalize the payroll appointments

      • See also course staffing flowchart 

      • Deadlines for each semester/term are emailed directly to Departments and posted to our Announcements page.

  • Outside of OASIS, we utilize PDF forms submitted into our Google Form to process the following appointment types:

    • New adjunct hires (onboarding flowchart)

    • Changes to the planned OASIS data, such as cancellations or additional teaching assignments

    • Ad hoc payments for other duty types, such as tutoring or thesis advising
