The following pages contain the current version of the KYSU Online/Global Adjunct Faculty Workload Offer Form, including Appendix A (Standard Section Sizes and Pro-rated Pay for Low Enrollment). The Office of Online Education issues this form to adjunct faculty before the start of each term or subterm. The form details the specific workload offer, course assignments, acknowledgements, and the compensation schedule referenced in Section 2.3 of this Handbook. The version included here is current as of the date of this Handbook; faculty should confirm they are reviewing the most recent version when they receive a workload offer.
I shall not be assigned academic rank during the term of employment. However, I understand that I may use my academic rank in my kysu.edu email signature if I have held academic rank as a full-time faculty member at Kentucky State University or another accredited institution.
I shall work under the supervision of the academic administrators of the academic programs in which the course is listed and being taught.
I shall have the same duties and responsibilities with respect to the course(s) being taught as those normally expected of faculty in online courses, which includes ensuring regular and substantive interaction (RSI) with students. And, in teaching the course, I shall have the same academic freedom as other faculty working within the Subject Matter Expert model for online courses at KYSU Online.
I agree to attend asynchronous faculty meetings as required and regular review announcements and documents available in the Online Faculty Hub.
I will not be responsible for the advisement of majors in their programs of study. I will proactively refer students to Online Student Support Concierge for questions involving course selection and registration and general student support needs.
I understand that my work will be evaluated by the students in the course I teach (in the regular end-of-course survey process). I further understand that my work will be evaluated by administrators as relevant to their areas of oversight.
I understand that this offer is contingent upon the enrollment of at least 12 students in undergraduate courses, and/or at least 10 students in graduate courses. These students must have paid or made a commitment to pay all tuition and fees by the end of regular registration. For courses with less than the requisite number of students, payment will be made according to the low enrollment pay rates in Appendix A of this Workload Offer Form.61
