Fixed-Term and Adjunct Faculty at St. Cloud State University: A Resource Guide

The purpose of this web page is to create a body of common knowledge about the role of fixed-term and adjunct faculty at SCSU. Since short-term faculty are brought into the university every year to fill urgent staffing needs, these faculty don't have enough time to learn how to work with the system. This webpage is designed to bring together the collective experience of temporary faculty, as well as information about their employment here, in order to raise awareness of how temporary faculty can work within the system campuswide.
