UNIV 100 Instructor Compensation

Adjunct instructors – For our purposes, adjunct instructor is defined as anyone who is not a full-time permanent employee of UL Â鶹´«Ã½app and who is hired by the Office of First-Year Experience to teach one or more sections of UNIV 100. One may be an adjunct instructor in two or more departments. Typically, an adjunct instructor may teach no more than five (3-credit hour) courses across all departments in which they are hired.

Full-time UL Â鶹´«Ã½app employees – Faculty and staff who are already appointed at UL Â鶹´«Ã½app on a full-time basis may apply to teach UNIV 100 as overload (that is, in addition to their customary duties in their primary full-time position and for extra pay). Those teaching UNIV 100 as overload must have the approval of their supervisor(s) (for faculty, both the department head and the dean must approve the overload assignment) and ensure that the overload assignment does not interfere with their primary duties. For staff, alternative arrangements will need to be made with one’s supervisor to make up time spent teaching the course.

In some cases (i.e., when a faculty member does not have a full teaching load in their home department), UNIV 100 will constitute part of the assigned teaching load. This will usually be arranged in conversation between the faculty member, department head/dean, and the Associate Director of the Office of the First-Year Experience (OFYE).

All UNIV 100 instructors hired as adjunct instructor or teaching as overload will be paid according to the following UL Â鶹´«Ã½app Fall semester pay scale. At a minimum, instructors must hold a Master's degree. If teaching a themed course, instructors must have a relevant academic and/or work background in that field.
