Setting Up Temporary Faculty Appointments
Here's a simple guide on how to set up temporary faculty appointments at the University of Oregon. This process is designed for short-term roles like music camp instructors or guest lecturers.
Understanding Temporary Faculty Appointments
- These appointments are for roles like music camp instructors, vacation college teachers, or visitors for lectures and workshops.
- They are paid from unclassified wages (account code 10209).
- Appointments are short-term, for employees paid $3,000 or less and for six weeks or less.
- If the appointment is longer than six weeks or the pay exceeds $3,000, process it as a regular fixed-term appointment. See New Appointments or Renewal Appointments.
- These appointments are typically one-time-only and should not be repeated more than once a year.
- They are not suitable for Pro Tempore instructors, who should receive academic staff appointment offers. See New Appointments or Renewal Appointments.
- They are not suitable for hiring an Interim Officer of Administration (OA). See Classification and Compensation's OA Interim Assignments and OA Position and Pay Actions.
