The need for part‑time faculty is greatest in Fall and Spring semesters. The Fall term begins in late August and ends in mid‑December; the Spring term runs from the middle of January through the end of May. Rarely part‑time faculty are needed during Summer Session segments.

Regular performance evaluations of part‑time lecturers are made by the department in accord with the faculty Collective Bargaining Agreement and University Policy Statement 210.070. These evaluations determine which lecturers will be retained for future and continued teaching assignments. In some instances, syllabi, assignments, and reading materials will be reviewed by the departmental personnel committee.

All part‑time faculty appointments are made as Lecturers, under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the CSU system and the California Faculty Association. Initial appointments are for one semester only.

• Classification range: $5,507 - $6,677 per month.
• Anticipated hiring range depending on qualifications, not to exceed $6,221 per month.
• For a three‑unit assignment, typical starting compensation ranges from $6,608.40 to $7,465.20 per semester.
