Interested in part-time teaching?

For retirees, those currently in the workforce and those who have just earned a graduate degree — teaching as a part-time faculty member at a community college is great way to supplement your income and share the knowledge you’ve gained through education and work! 

• Transform lives and strengthen our communities through learning
• Longevity rewarded with increased pay  
• Small class sizes
• Professional development opportunities 
• Interactions with colleagues 
• Support from academic departments and adjunct coordinators 
• Online teaching training program for those who qualify 
• Annual adjunct awards recognizing excellence 

Additional benefits:

• Sick/personal leave: One calendar day missed during the semester is allowed without reduction of pay. 
• Use of the LLCC Fitness Center, Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. when classes are not in session.  The cost is $50 per semester. 
• Tuition waiver benefit: Tuition and basic fees are waived for LLCC credit hour courses taken by the instructor or dependent children under 22 years of age, based on the number of hours taught during a semester. A grade of A, B or C must be earned. The instructor must be employed by LLCC at the beginning and end of the course and must complete the required Tuition Waiver Application available in LLCC Human Resources.
• Retirement: The State Universities Retirement System (SURS) covers LLCC employees. SURS requires eight percent of the employee’s pay be deducted on a pretax basis and contributed to the system.   This retirement system does not coordinate with Social Security, and consequently, there is no payroll deduction for FICA. However, there is a payroll deduction requirement of 1.45 percent of gross wages for Medicare. Participation in SURS is automatic and is not voluntary.  

Requirements

Part-time faculty are required to have earned a master’s degree with at least 18 hours in the subject being taught. At least 2,000 hours of work experience can substitute for a degree in career and technical fields. 

Prior teaching experience is preferred but not required.

Criminal background check and drug screen is required prior to employment.
