Adjunct Hiring Guidelines

Process For Hiring Credit Part-time Faculty

The following process must be followed when hiring new credit part-time faculty. This is to ensure that we comply with the California Education Code requirements. Please allow adequate time for this process to be completed prior to the beginning of a term.

New faculty should NOT be in the classroom until ALL of these steps are completed. If the process has not been completed by the first day of instruction, a current approved substitute should be instructing the class on a temporary basis.
