Your Department Head or a Human Resources representative can provide you with a memo to take to the Security Office. If you have your J#, you can ask Human Resources to provide you with a Faculty ID memo. Take this memo to the College Security Office located in Room MG-12 (MG-12 means: Mint Building, Ground floor, Room 12)

Your J Number is your employee ID number. After you’ve filled out the paperwork with your department head, your hiring packet is then submitted to the appropriate Dean for review and signature and for final approval and sign-off by the Vice President for Academic and Student Success. The hiring packet is then sent to the Human Resources office so that your information can be put into our Banner system. ("Banner" is the name of a software systems that runs many of the College's internal processes). After this happens, you will be assigned a "J Number" and given CCP email and MyCCP accounts. This process can take 1-2 weeks.

Paychecks

Adjunct faculty and Visiting Lecturers are paid on a bi-weekly basis. If you submitted a direct deposit form with your hiring packet your check will be deposited as you requested. If you did not, your check will be available in the payroll office located in room M1-02 until 4:00pm on each payday. If your check is not picked up by that time, it will be placed in the mail to your home address.

Note: If you did not submit a direct deposit form when you were hired and would like to do so, complete this Direct Deposit Form and drop off at the Payroll Department, located at M1-2.

Information about Payroll can be found here.

Pay Schedule

Part-time faculty are paid bi-weekly throughout the duration of their teaching assignment. In other words, if you teach a 15 week session during Fall semester, you will be paid for your work throughout the Fall semester.

Typically, pay begins one-and-a-half to two-and-a-half weeks after your assignment begins. Similarly, your last payment will be one-and-a-half weeks to two-and-a-half weeks after your assignment ends. You’ll be paid a set amount, but the number of payments, and thus the dollar amount per payment, could vary by semester calendars.

Part-time faculty are paid by the contact hour, meaning if you work five hours, you will be paid for five hours of work. This is important to mention because depending on the discipline in which you teach, your workload might not equal your contact hour pay. 

Parts-of-Term & Pay

Each semester—Fall, Spring, Summer I, and Summer II—has multiple parts-of-term, sometimes referred to as POT. Click here for the start and end dates. A part-of-term describes the amount of time during the semester that a course runs. Some parts-of-term run the entire semester, and others run for just that, part of the semester (most courses run for 15 weeks, but some run for less than 15 weeks).

You will be paid for your work during your part-of-term. So if you're teaching a 7-week class that doesn’t start until halfway through the fall semester, your pay will not begin until after the class starts.

Regardless of the amount of time you teach, you are always paid by the contact hour. Thus, depending on your part-of-term, you might receive seven smaller payments, or three larger payments. 

Pay Rates, Pools, and Seniority

The contract governing the employment of all Part-Time Faculty (Adjunct and Hourly) and Visiting Lecturer Faculty (VL) is the product of negotiations with the administration conducted on the behalf of all PT/VL faculty by the Chair(s) of their Collective Bargaining Unit, which is separate from the Full-time Faculty's Collective Bargaining Unit. (See the contract and pay rate information here.)

One of the provisions of this contract is that course assignment and pay rates are determined by seniority. Seniority will dictate your Pay Pool. The more semesters you teach, the more Seniority Units you will earn, which will lead to going up in Pay Pool, which leads to more money per contact hour! (See the seniority lists here.)

How to Decode Room Numbers at the Main Campus

Figuring out where rooms are located is easy—once you know "the code!"

All room locations on the main campus are designated as follows:

(Building)(Floor) - (Room #)

For Example: "W3-12" is the designation for "West Building, 3rd Floor, Room 12. There are signs throughout main campus to help you find your way.

The following are the names and floors of the buildings found on Main Campus:

• M = Mint (Floors G, 1, R, 2) 
• B = Bonnell (Floors G, 1, R, 2) 
  • Note for Mint and Bonnell buildings: G = Ground, R = Rotunda
• G = The Athletics Center
• S = Winnet Student Life (Floors 1, 2, 3)
• W = West (Floors 1, 2, 3, 4)
• C = Center for Business and Industry (CBI) (Floors 1, 2, 3)
• P = Pavilion (Floors 1 and 2)

Getting Ready to Teach at CCP

Planning your course takes forethought. As you design your course, you will need to consider specific student learning outcomes, course content, materials and activities, as well as assessments of student learning.

Course Documents

Every course at CCP is described in a Course Document which is available through the College's Curriculum Development Office. The Course Document will help you understand important student learning outcomes, which textbooks are typically used to teach the course, and how you can develop a course that effectively covers the material that students need to learn. Though the design of a class syllabus is largely up to you as the instructor, be certain to ask your department head if there are department guidelines or requirements for syllabus development or for the particular course that you are teaching. For further guidance, read "Getting to Know Your Course."

Use the Curriculum Design Worksheet - CCP's Curriculum Development Office has also created a Curriculum Development Worksheet Preview the document to guide you through the course design process.

Resources, including your department head, that can help you to design your class syllabus

Creating the Syllabus

Ask your department head for department-specific syllabus guidelines and, if available, copies of example syllabi for your course. Be sure to ask if your department has any specific requirements with regard to class syllabi. If you are new at creating syllabi, ask for an example of well-designed syllabus (from any course). A syllabus should provide pertinent information for your class and ensure that your students know what to expect, when graded work is due, and how student work and student learning will be assessed. Your syllabus can also set ground rules for class behavior, provide outside resources for students to explore, and provide additional insight into the subject matter and your teaching style. Here are guidelines for creating your syllabus. Additionally, the Learning Centered Syllabus Sample Template and the Inclusive Syllabus offer two perspectives on class syllabi and might provide you with some ideas as you design a syllabus for your own class.

Make certain to include your Course Description and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) in your syllabus exactly as they appear in the official list of course offerings, which can be found in the College catalog. You're required to include this language verbatim! As you design your course, make certain that you adequately cover the SLOs.

Fair Use

For information about the concept of "fair use," and how it applies in an educational setting, you can visit this page from the Harper College library.

Here is a fair use checklist you can use. 

Public Domain

This now refers to any material published before 1925, or any materials 70 years after the death of the creator.* 

This rule is subject to the following restrictions.**

• Copying is for only one course in the College;
• Not more than one short poem, article, etc. or two (2) excerpts may be copied from the same author;
• Not more than three (3) excerpts may be copied from a collective work during one semester;
• Not more than nine (9) instances of multiple copies may be made for one course during one semester. More than nine times is interpreted as a violation of “fair use.”

Faculty must have copyright permission for multiple copying of the following:

• A work (poem, article, essay, etc.) for classroom use which is known to have been copied for use in another course at the same institution;
• Any work by the same author more frequently than once per semester;
• Any work, used one semester, in any subsequent semester;
• Consumable materials such as workbooks, lab manuals, and standardized tests;
• Music for the purpose of substituting for the purchase of music, except in the following emergency: copying to replace purchased copies which, for any reason, are not available for an imminent performance provided purchased replacement shall be substituted in due course.

On the Instructional Work Request Form indicate if you are copying material “not under copyright,” “copyright permission attached,” or “copy complies with the ‘fair use’ criteria” using the listed criteria.

If you need, but don’t have, copyright permission: call the publisher and request that permission be faxed to you; if you have verbal permission, indicate and then submit written permission when it comes.

Check with sites on the Internet that deal with copyright.

Remember, YOU are responsible for obtaining permission. Printing Services will return any unauthorized requests.
