Adjunct Handbook

BENEFITS INFORMATION

Adjunct faculty are eligible to enroll in the Public Employees’ Retirement System immediately if they are currently active members of the PERS pension system. Those not meeting immediate enrollment eligibility are enrolled in PERS after 12 months of continuous employment (start of the third consecutive semester) as long as all other eligibility criteria are met. Currently, the PERS pension contribution rate is 5% of base salary.

In addition, the University provides tuition free enrollment for academic courses offered for credit at the undergraduate and graduate level. Regularly appointed adjunct faculty within the bargaining unit are eligible to apply during any given semester, including summer sessions.
