Part-Time Faculty

• Step Advancement
  • Step advancement occurs with an accumulated eighteen credit hours or one hundred eighty total hours or an equivalent combination of the two. To calculate step advancement, hours are totaled for the preceding summer through spring terms. Step advancement is retained regardless of the length of an employee’s separation from the college.
  • Step advancements are effective the first working day following the last day of term they meet the advancement criteria, with the exception of special recognitions to part-time faculty (see below).
• Recognition
  • Within an annual time frame, each instructional division will have the option of designating non-contracted faculty members for special recognition. Special recognition will include a one step merit pay increase, unless the employee is already at the top step. Specially recognized part-time faculty who are already at the top step will receive a stipend.
  • The amount of the stipend will be determined annually by Academic Affairs.
