Adjunct/Overload Assignment: The Process

To be assigned work, you must first complete the Notice of Reasonable Assurance (NORA) form. The college uses the NORA form to determine course assignments for adjuncts each semester. You must submit the online NORA form prior to each semester's start to request assignments to indicate your interest in and specific time availabilities for the upcoming semester(s). The NORA forms are available in the college's MySCCC portal page.

NORA puts you on the seniority list, so if you don't submit, you will not be offered an assignment until all adjuncts on the list have been assigned the contractual maximum numbers of contact hours they have requested. Therefore, it's extremely important that you meet all of the deadlines listed on the NORA page.

Work is assigned according to seniority. Seniority is based first upon the number of semesters you have taught/worked at SCCC and then upon the number of credit/contract hours you have worked. All adjuncts hired prior to September 1, 2006, will be offered up to a full complement of courses/credit hours he or she has requested. This is the A seniority list. Those individuals hired after September 1, 2006, will be offered course work as the need arises. This is the B seniority list. After three semesters of work, a "B seniority list" adjunct will be added to the bottom of the "A seniority list" and will be offered courses based upon that seniority list.
