Thank you for your interest in teaching for our Community Education Program. In preparation for the upcoming semester, we have some information and updates to our program to share with you.
If you are interested in teaching for us, we will need the following information submitted by Monday, November 2, 2009. Courses will be selected based on instructor experience, references, room availability for dates selected, previous course evaluations, and etc. If your course is selected, you will be contacted by the Community Education Department to complete the hiring information.
Required Course Information:

*Course Description
A summary (5 - 10 sentences) of what you will be covering during the course. This description will serve as the marketing information that will be placed on your Community Education web page, so make it "catchy" and easy to read! Error free submissions are desired. Abbreviated versions of your course description will be placed in the Outreach Publication.

The syllabus should include the course objectives and content covered for each class.

A brief summary of your credentials and expertise as related to the course. The bio will be placed on your course web page.

Supply List & Materials Fee
The supply list will include any materials that the student is responsible for buying and bringing to the class.
The materials fee is required only if you, as the instructor, are providing the necessary materials for the course. If you are providing all materials (cds, books, etc) for the course, the Community Education staff will collect the materials fee for you the day the course begins.
We will be happy to Xerox copies, provide folders, purchase books, and etc., for the course if needed. These expenses will be deducted from the course revenue before your compensation is calculated. Please take this into consideration when setting the course registration fee.
Contract and Compensation
Instructors will receive a portion of the total registration fees for teaching the course (compensation rate to be determined). Registrations will be confirmed after the second class and the compensation paperwork will be processed at that time.
The Academic Outreach - Community Education staff will:
- Market the course via the brochure, website, press releases and other marketing mediums
- Register students, collect payments and provide registration confirmation
- Collect materials fee if needed
- Provide AV equipment and prepare room as requested
- Distribute materials list to students
