FYI:

• Credits - Part-time faculty are allowed to teach up to 24 credit hours total in a year excluding summers. In the summer we can teach as many credits as we wish or as many as are available to us.

• Finals - The time and date depend on your course schedule, and often does not coincides with your actual teaching hours.

• Office hours - The Faculty Handbook recommends 2 hours of office hours per week to serve the students. However it is different for part-time faculty as we are required only one hour per course.

• Outcomes - We are required to evaluate outcomes reached by our students at the end of the term. Ask your chair or your peers about the procedure in your department.

• Prerequisites - In the first week of the term some students who are hoping to get into your class do not have the required prerequisites. Make sure to ask them for a proof before signing the Add-form.

• Safety Training - You will be required to take online safety training by SafetyCollege. You will be compensated for two hours per year to complete the training modules. After you complete the training, you may claim two hours on your timesheet during the first full month of the quarter (October, February, or April). For instructions on how to submit a timesheet, see our timesheet instructions page or ask the administrative assistant in your division for assistance.
