Adjuncts are temporary non-benefited off-budget positions for additional instruction not permanently budgeted. Adjuncts are limited to a maximum of 9 credit hours (3 classes) across the ASU system campuses for fall term and spring term and no more than 9 credit hours (3 classes) total from 5-16 to 8-15 summer months. Please verify with the adjunct if they are teaching anywhere else on campus or at any other ASU campus before committing to the hire. An adjunct cannot teach 3 classes and do other work such as developing or grant work in the same semester as it puts them over hours.

It is the department’s responsibility to secure official transcripts of adjuncts working in the department and vet they have the correct credentials as outlined in the faculty handbook to be teaching a class. Transcripts need to be kept on file in the department in the event of an audit by the HLC accreditation body.
