Make an Adjustment (Change) to Adjunct Appointments
Important Notes:
There are four reasons an adjunct appointment may need adjusted:
Class Additions
Class Cancellations
Course Enrollment Changes
Incorrect End Date Submitted on Hire
Reference the table below for the process to follow based on the specific scenario you’re working with.
Important Notes
There is an 11 credit limit for adjuncts during a given semester. Confirm the Adjunct will not work over the 11 credit limit by running the Instructor Schedule report.
Provost permission is required if the addition results in the adjunct going over 11 credit hours. Contact the Provost to work through next steps. Do not continue with the processes below.

Incorrect End Date Submitted on Hire Request | What is an example of when this might occur?The semester is partial but the adjunct hire was submitted for the entire semester. This creates a discrepancy in what should be paid (eg adjunct should be paid for 10 weeks rather than 19 weeks) For both salary and hourly adjuncts, submit Data Change - Change in Hours and update the salary information as outlined in the job aid. Run the adjunct faculty Detail Report to determine if adjunct faculty is hourly or salary. | N/A |
