Adjunct faculty currently teaching for WNCC will be exempt from this application process unless it
becomes necessary due to accreditation requirements to re-approve current adjunct faculty.
However, for additional course approvals, the adjunct will need to update his/her le by submitting a letter
indicating interest in the new course, and, if available, additional documentation.
Selection Process:
All adjunct faculty applicant materials will rst be evaluated by the applicable Division Chair and the
Dean of Instruction in order to determine what WNCC courses the candidate is qualied to teach in
accordance with institutional guidelines as indicated on page one. After this approval process has been
completed, the following steps will be taken:
1. A letter is sent to the candidate from the Associate Dean of Instructional Support Services
identifying the WNCC courses the candidate has been approved to teach.
2. If and when there is a need for adjunct faculty in the applicable division(s) or in the public school
districts, and all required documentation has been received, the Dean of Instruction or the Dean's
representative will contact the candidate. At this point, and at the discretion of
the Division Chair, a simulated teaching presentation may be requested.
3. Approval for employment is based upon authorization by the Division Chair with nal
approval coming from the Dean of Instruction.
4. In order to maintain current records for all adjunct faculty candidates, occasional requests
for updated information and documentation will be sent to candidates to check for continued
interest.
Current adjunct faculty members are exempt from the selection process. However, when additional course
approval is requested, the “Selection Process” will be initiated.
