College of Southern Nevada
Part-Time Professional Faculty (Fee Waiver) Application
POLICY: (Approved September 10, 1987)
Eligible part-time professional faculty (eligibility to be verified by their supervisor) receives a waiver of fees for college
credit classes up to the number of credit hours the part-time faculty member has taught the previous or current
semester (spring/fall only). The eligibility based on credit hours shall not be cumulative from semester to semester.
Those professional part-time faculty members who do not teach must confer with their supervisor to determine
appropriate course equivalency for their services. In no case will a supervisor authorize more than a total of 6 credit
hours of course equivalency per semester for such service and the courses must be taken at any of the NSHE Institutions.
Part-time professional faculty shall be permitted to register for credit or audit in any credit course with the usual
limitations as noted below:
1. Courses may only be taken during the Fall and Spring regular semesters and must be taken at any of the
NSHE Institutions.
2. Only those courses where space is available may be taken.
3. Lab fees are not included in this waiver.
4. Part-time faculty members shall not be entitled to any privileges
