Adjunct faculty are contracted to teach generalist and specialist content throughout College of Nursing programs (pre-licensure, RN-BS, MSN, DNP, PhD) and Gerontology Interdisciplinary Program (GIP) on a semester-by-semester basis.

All adjunct faculty must hold a Master’s degree or higher and, depending on the assigned teaching role and program, hold an active license to practice nursing (e.g., RN, APRN) in the State of Utah. Decisions about whether adjunct faculty are educationally and experientially prepared for an assigned teaching role are made on a case-by-case basis.

The major function of adjunct faculty in the College of Nursing is student learning activities and evaluation, both individually and as a co-instructor. Essential responsibilities and duties are dictated by the nature and requirements of individual courses that may include, but are not limited to:

• Coordinating teaching and learning activities.
• Communicating student issues and/or concerns with directors and other members of College of Nursing leadership.
• Attending course-related faculty meetings.
• Providing input into course objectives, including updates, revisions and/or deletions.
• When applicable, maintaining optimal relationships with assigned clinical agencies.
• Following course syllabi and determining student learning objectives.
• Counseling students and maintaining accurate records.
• Serving as a role model for students.
• Evaluating student performance.
