    4. completed Login Request Form, authorized by the dean or designee indicating recommendation to approve.
      For faculty teaching credit classes, the Dean of Instruction will review the applicant's file to determine if minimum standards have been met and notify the appropriate dean or designee of action taken.  Commitment on hiring faculty who teach credit 课程 shall not be made until after an instructor approval has been acted upon favorably by the Academic Affairs office.
  2. The Academic Affairs office will maintain a master list of approved faculty for credit 课程.
  3. 教师 may be approved to teach non-credit 课程 by the Director of Extended Learning, applying the minimum standards listed below.  Non-credit faculty may, when appropriate, be hired without a transcript.
