Information
A Message from the DMACC Executive Vice
President
As a DMACC adjunct faculty member, you need to be
aware of the policies and procedures which impact the practice of your
profession without our organization. The
Adjunct Faculty Handbook was developed to provide you with a convenient
reference to important information which you are likely to need in your tenure
with DMACC. You play a vital role in our
efforts to meet the educational needs of our students and our community, and I
hope that the Adjunct Faculty Handbook will assist you in this endeavor.
Dr. Kim Linduska
Executive Vice President, Academic Affairs and
Provost,
Introduction
This manual is meant to
be useful to all DMACC faculty teaching credit or non-credit courses. It
should be especially helpful to new faculty who need to turn to one common source
of information to answer the many questions they may have. But it is also
filled with procedures, practices, and Web links that veteran faculty will need
to have at their fingertips. Likewise, deans, provosts, and their secretaries
will want to be familiar with the contents.
Consider this a working
document. It should be updated annually
and should include changes and additions that you contribute.
