Upon receipt of your completed application, your file will be forwarded
to the appropriate department for review and approval. Upon approval,
you will be sent a letter notifying you of the courses you have
been approved to teach. When a teaching opportunity arises in the
region you have selected, you may be contacted regarding your availability.
Occasionally, part-time faculty may be asked to teach a class and
subsequently, a full-time faculty member from the academic department
will choose to teach the class. Ferris' faculty contract allows
the full-time contracted faculty the option of teaching classes
that are delivered at our off-campus locations. On the rare occasions
when a full-time contracted Ferris faculty chooses this option,
s/he will be contracted to teach the class in lieu of the adjunct.
Ferris is proud of its cadre of professionals who teach at our
sites throughout Michigan. They bring current expertise in their
disciplines and fresh perspectives. We invite you to join our team.
