The Adjunct Faculty position teaches college level course curriculum as defined by North Central Michigan College and assigned by a departmental dean; utilizing active learning strategies to assist the learner in meeting the course objectives. Adjunct faculty are hired through a staffing agency to teach on a semester-by-semester basis as the College's needs dictate. Therefore, teaching in any single semester does not obligate the College nor the Adjunct faculty member to teach future teaching assignments.

Adjunct Faculty receive evaluation from students and college administration and participate in outcomes assessment efforts of the college. Adjunct Faculty conduct themselves in a professional manner promoting statesmanship with students, other faculty and administrative staff.

In the scheduling of both full-time and part-time/adjunct faculty for North Central courses, the College reviews a variety of factors including, but not limited to, full-time faculty load requirements, matching skills with course openings, location of courses, etc. The administration reserves the right to select and schedule both full-time and part-time faculty as course needs dictate.
