Policies Related to the Adjunct Development Course

  • An adjunct must be credentialed and have an active Palm Beach State College email address to register in the course. This typically means they have taught at least one time in the past year.
  • The course is REQUIRED for all adjunct faculty who teach credit, Prep, EPI or CCP courses and such persons will be paid for successful completion of the course.
  • Faculty who:
    1. taught CCE or avocational classes
    2. are full-time faculty

      may
      participate, but they will not be paid for such participation. Persons who are not credentialed or have not taught in the last year are ineligible to participate in the course.
  • Adjuncts will have one term to complete the course; that term is their first term teaching at the College; if they have taught in the past and are returning to teaching, they will also have one term to complete the course. Incompletes will not be issued.
  • Adjuncts WILL NOT be rehired if the training has not been completed within the specified time frame.
  • Persons eligible for payment will be paid $150.00 (before taxes) for completing the course at the proficiency level specified for all assignments (80%). Payments will be processed on the second pay period of each month through a PAF form filed by Academic Services.
  • As adjuncts complete the course, the completion will be noted in the Online Faculty Credentialing Database (OFCD). A monthly email will also be distributed to the campuses with the names of completers.
  • Continuing education units will not be issued by the College or Academic Affairs for this course, nor will the College confirm enrollment in the course.
  • A certificate of completion will be sent to each participant via College email. Duplicates will not be provided.
