Credentialing Non-Employee

Paper, PantherNet and Online Process

  1. Non-employees who are teaching courses for Palm Beach State College, and/or who will have access to student records: Please contact HR to complete the Student Records tutorial (FERPA).
  2. Non-employees who will not be teaching courses for Palm Beach State, and/or who will not have access to student records: Begin with Step 2.
  3. Non-employees should complete the Computer Use Agreement Form:
  4. (www.palmbeachstate.edu/academicservices/Computer-Use-Agreement) and submit to the Department Chair (or appropriate supervisor).
  5. Department Chair (or appropriate supervisor) should complete the Non-employee Email Account Request Form (http://intranet.palmbeachstate.edu/hr/Documents/emailaccountrequest.pdf)
  6. Department personnel should submit both completed forms to Human Resources. HR will certify completion of the forms and load the non-employee into PantherNet (which creates a Palm Beach State College email address, People Finder entry, and makes them available for PantherNet faculty credentialing).

Approval Process

To ensure maximum efficiency, it is suggested that this process start concurrently with the paper process, as listed above.

  1. Submit Online Roster documentation (transcripts, etc.) for credentialing approval. All faculty credentialing requests should be submitted to the Academic Deans’ Council for credit, prep and CCP; for CCE and avocational, the associate dean or dean approves the credential.

    Academic Services will process the credential on PantherNet.

  2. Once credentialed, the department can add the instructor to the class.

Note: All instructors tied to a course can view the class roster, but only the PRIMARY instructor can grade.
