Duties of a part-time lecturer include instruction, class preparation, grading, and office hours. Other duties may be assigned based on departmental needs. Course assignments, including dates, time, and modality, are made by the Department Chair under the direction of the College Dean. Part-time lecturers are instructional faculty with conditional appointments based on enrollment and budget.

Initial appointments are typically for one semester, but occasionally for the academic year. Appointments may be renewed based on department needs, funding, and performance. Often appointments are made just prior to the start of the semester.

Initial rank and salary for lecturer faculty are based on professional experience and educational background and are determined by the hiring department. Most new lecturers are hired at the Lecturer A or B rank. As of July 2024, the classification salary ranges for the respective ranks are provided for full-time rates (15 weighted teaching units, WTUs). A semester’s compensation is made in six payments.

The base rate is prorated based on the units worked out of 15 WTUs. Example: 3 units at the minimum salary would be calculated as $5,507 x 3/15, paid in six checks, totaling $6,608.40 for 3 units/semester.
