Adjunct Faculty -Faculty members who are not guaranteed, by written agreement, a full load of teaching, advising or coaching, institutional support, community support, and professional development support work. Adjunct faculty are employed on a term-by-term basis, and there is not an expectation of ongoing employment, a nine- or twelve-month agreement, summer term employment, or employee benefits commensurate with full-time faculty status.

Adjunct faculty are allowed no more than 12 weekly contact hours per semester. Department of the Treasury calculations allow for 2.25 hours of work per 1 hour of teaching time. A 12-contact hour load, therefore, is equal to 27 hours of work time. Work time may not exceed 30 hours per week. Campus chancellors must approve course loads beyond 12 contact hours, prior to the execution of the contract. In the case of adjunct serving in more than one campus, or serving in regions and with Corporate College, course loads must be managed to keep below the 12-contact hour threshold. Adjunct faculty may be expected to participate in non-instructional service, provided teaching and non-teaching hours do not exceed 30 hours per week. Term loads may not be averaged in order to remain below the 12-hour/30-hour threshold.
