Pools and Application Policy

The Adjunct Instructor Pools are for applicants who are interested in teaching in the future as a part‑time adjunct instructor. The Pools are always open for applications, but that does not mean we have an immediate opening in the division. The Pools serve as a way for department chairs to view applicant materials in advance of a need and determine if the applicant will be approved to be added to their pool of eligible applicants.

Should a part‑time instructional need arise in a given department, the department chair will first look at the approved applicants to see if anyone matches our needs, in which case they may contact the applicant to schedule an interview.

Unofficial transcripts must be submitted when applying.
