Adjunct Faculty Employment

ADJUNCT FACULTY EMPLOYMENT

Please make a note that the title code has changed effective December 1, 2016

Academic departments have the authority to recruit and hire adjunct faculty without posting and advertising openings. Adjunct faculty are hired on an “as needed” basis per semester, or in some cases, for an academic year. Adjunct faculty generally do not have full faculty responsibilities, committee assignments, etc. and teaching assignments are based on twenty percent FTE per class.

Title code for adjunct faculty is Title 7071 (Previously Title 7511).

Adjunct faculty salary floors are based on highest degree of faculty member and level of course:

Salary for 3 credit hour course

Highest Degree / Lower Level / Upper Level / Graduate
Doctorate / $2,500 / $3,000 / $4,000
Master’s / $2,000 / $2,500 / N/A

1)  Amount will be prorated based on credit hours of course (not contact hours)

2)  For courses cross listed at the 400/500 level, scale will follow the graduate level
