Eligibility Lists
Eligibility Lists
Eligibility lists are lists of a possible pool of qualified instructors for a specific course and are created by department chairs and certified by the instructional dean. Adjunct faculty may qualify for an eligibility list for some courses in their discipline but not for others. The lists are reestablished each semester. Placement of new applicants on an Eligibility List occurs at the discretion of the department chair when there is need.
Adjunct faculty on a department’s Eligibility List may request to be added to the Eligibility List for additional courses in that department. Such requests should be made in writing to the department chair and should include justification for placement on the given Eligibility List (for instance, documentation of completion of additional education or professional development, related additional experience external to ACC, etc.). If the department chair approves the request, the member of the Adjunct Faculty making the request is added to the Eligibility List for that course.
A separate eligibility list may be maintained by departments for Early College Start/Early College High School courses. Placing a qualified applicant who is employed by the secondary institution at which the applicant will teach on the Early College Start/Early College High School eligibility list does not result in eligibility for general e-staffing. All other provisions of this administrative rule apply.
Information made available through the faculty evaluation process will be used by department chairs when making eligibility list placements. For more specific information on the relationship between evaluations and eligibility lists, contact the department chair.
Use of Evaluations in Eligibility Lists
Information made available through the faculty evaluation process will be used by department chairs when making an eligibility list of placements. Exclusion from an eligibility list may occur due to low aggregate score, unacceptable results in the professional evaluation rating, a serious problem or reported incident, a violation of federal or state law, or a significant classroom performance identified by the department chair.
