Adjunct faculty members are not covered by the leave policies for full-time faculty. Absences during the term of employment should not be necessary except in cases of emergency.
The following procedure is to be followed by an adjunct instructor who must miss work:
- E-mail a request for approval to the relevant dean and the division or program director. The request should include a brief description of the reason for the absence and an explanation of assignments made to students to complete in the employee's absence.
|
- Consult the division director or program coordinator in advance concerning such instructional matters as the appropriateness of proposed alternative assignments or qualifications of a proposed substitute speaker or proctor. Substitutes must be approved by the immediate supervisor and must be qualified to teach the class. Any payments required of substitutes are the responsibility of the instructor not the College.
|
- Email all affected students with notification and instructions for assignments.
|
- In cases where class must be missed due to an emergency or illness, instructors should contact the Dean of Instruction; the Dean of Workforce Development and Skills Training; or the appropriate Division Director or Program Coordinator to ensure that students are given timely notification of the cancellation.
