Adjunct / Overload Pay 

Adjunct/Overload Pay Dates

Adjunct / overload check pay periods begin the sixth week of the Fall/Spring semester. You will receive a total of seven checks for the semester. The first adjunct/overload check will be issued on September 29.

Credit & Contact Hours

Faculty are paid overload/adjunct based on a contact hour. If a course you teach meets for 3 hours/week/semester, you are paid for 3 contact hours. If the course you teach meets for 5 hours/week/semester, you are paid 5 contact hours. Often the credit hours students earn are equal to the contact hours the faculty member teaches/week/semester. Sometimes, though, a student may earn 4 credit hours but will be required to be in class 5 or 6 hours/week/semester. For those courses, faculty are paid based on the actual hours/week/semester he/she teaches, not by the credit hours the students earn for the courses.

Non-Classroom Faculty

During the day, counselors/librarians are paid: 20 clock hours = 1 contact hour pay
In the evening, counselors/librarians are paid: 18.66 clock hours = 1 contact hour pay
Programatic PA/Specialists are paid: 22.5 clock hours = 1 contact hour of pay
Laboratory PA/Specialist are paid: 15 clock hours=1 contact of pay
(8 contact hours of pay = 180 clock hours/semester or 12 clock hours/week/15 week semester.)
