Faculty Qualifications
To comply with accreditation standards, ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ must verify that all faculty members are qualified in the discipline(s) in which they are assigned courses as the instructor of record. Therefore, whenever a department hires a new faculty member it should complete an FQC form to accompany the other documents required for hiring. This procedure applies to all new full-time tenure-track and one- year faculty, as well as new adjunct instructors, and any current ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ administrative/professional employees assigned to teach a Tech course. It also applies to faculty already certified in one discipline who are assigned a course in a different discipline. This procedure covers all courses earning ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ credit, such as ROCC, dual-credit, and sections taught at off-campus sites.
