For Part-time Faculty Only

Fluctuating FTE (with Proportional Change in Salary)

  1. Part-time faculty (appointed at 50% FTE or greater): FTE is allowed to fluctuate (up or down) between 1% and 99% FTE with a proportional change in salary. This is a payroll action and does not require a formal Dean's approval, however the eUMB action form will still require Dean's Office signature.
  2. Part-time faculty (appointed at 49% FTE or less): FTE is allowed to fluctuate (up or down) between 1% and 49% FTE with a proportional change in salary. This is a payroll action and does not require a formal Dean's approval, however the eUMB action form will still require Dean's Office signature.

Please note: For these part-time faculty, FTE may not go above 50% without affirmative action/recruitment being addressed. Please follow recruitment procedures outlined above for this increase in FTE.
