Accept Contract(s) in Faculty Center

Use the Faculty Center to access the Contract Info page (see above) or use the Nav Bar to find your Contract Info.

Navigation:  NavBar > Navigator > Self Service > Faculty Center> Contract Info

1. Click on Contract Info in the Faculty Center to display a table of part-time and moonlight contracts and stipended assignments.

2. All contracts (letters of intent) are displayed in a table listed by Term

3. In the Contract Signed column on the right side of the table, the check box will be unchecked for contracts you have not yet accepted.

4. You may see multiple contracts for a single quarter if you have been offered more than one type of assignment. Instructional assignments (e.g., associate faculty or moonlight assignments) will be listed separately from stipended work (e.g., a special assignment to do something like curriculum development). You may also see multiple contracts for different types of instructional assignments (e.g., classroom instruction v. private lessons for Music faculty). You must accept each contract separately.

Select Contract(s) to View

1. Select a contract that you have not signed. There may be more than one. Click on the View Contract link to the right of the check boxes to see the details of the contract you wish to accept.

Contract Info page, the contract signed column, and view contract columns have red squares around them.

 

2. The Contract Information will be shown on a new page.

3.  Instructional assignments (class sections) will be listed as Associate Faculty or Moonlight contracts. For class assignments, the Class Nbr in the first column indicates the section you are being offered to teach. If you are being offered more than one class section, there will be an additional line in the table for each section. Combined sections will appear on multiple lines, e.g., combined sections of dual listed classes such as CJ135/SOC135, Current Issues in Crime and Society, will appear as two sections.

The final two columns in the contract table list the total pay for the term and the percentage of full-time faculty equivalent workload (e.g., 33.333 percent). Combined sections will be listed separately, but only the lead section will generate pay or workload, i.e., if, in the above example the CJ135 section is generating pay and workload, the SOC135 section will show zero total pay and zero FTE%. By contrast, classes that have multiple components, such as LAB and LEC components, will show pay and workload on separate lines for each component.

4. Stipended work (e.g., a stipend paid for curriculum development) will be listed as a Special Assignment or SPA contract. There will be a brief description of the type of work being offered, the number of expected hours, the start and stop dates for the work, and the total pay.
