Overview of the eStaffing Process

The eStaffing System allows ACC to solicit the teaching preferences of individual adjunct faculty members in a systematic way and use that information in making teaching assignments. Adjunct faculty members record their preferences for campuses, terms, days of the week, times of day, and sections. When class assignments are made, individual preferences can be taken into account. The process works as follows, on a term-by-term basis:

1. The Department Chair for each discipline sets up the eligibility list for all faculty members who will be teaching in their discipline. Deans must approve these lists before courses can be assigned.

2. Each adjunct faculty member enters their teaching preferences, including campuses, days of the week, hours of the day, and preferred sections, for an upcoming term for each discipline in which they teach.

3. The Department Chair gets a list of the courses and sections to be assigned for the upcoming term.

4. The Department Chair also receives the preferences of every adjunct faculty member in that discipline who has entered preferences by the preferences deadline for the term being assigned.

5. The Department Chair works through the list of courses, assigning sections to instructors in randomized order, taking into account the entered preferences. There is no guarantee that you will get all of your preferences, but entering your preferences improves the likelihood that you will. You do not have to express any preferences if you do not want to, but this system allows your preferences to be taken into account when teaching assignments are made.

6. The assignments are presented to each faculty member by discipline (some faculty teach in more than one discipline). You accept or reject the assignments for that discipline.

7. Once all adjustments have been made, the teaching assignments are forwarded to the appropriate Dean for approval, and assignments are finalized.
