Request for Non-Graduate Faculty to Teach Graduate Courses

The Request for Non-Graduate Faculty to Teach Graduate Courses form is used to nominate a non-graduate faculty member to teach a graduate course. The department must submit the form once every three years for each course the faculty teaches. If a contract is submitted for an adjunct who is not approved to teach a graduate course, ASA/OIE will send it back with a request to complete the Request for Non-Graduate Faculty to Teach Graduate Courses.

Faculty Credential Exception Request

If the proposed faculty member does not have the usual terminal degree required to teach the course, please complete the Faculty Credential Exception Request, which lists the exceptional credentials or experiences that the candidate possesses that would qualify them to teach the course. Please note that a request to approve non-graduate faculty without a terminal degree cannot be considered before review and approval is granted by Academic Affairs. The Faculty Credential Exception Request form can be found under the Instructional Faculty Credentialing Process tab on the Academic Affairs Faculty Administration & Personnel Resources website.
