Adjuncts: What is the FTE field used for?

The FTE field is used for Adjuncts (FT/FW) and shows the number of prior semesters taught. Adjuncts will start with a FTE of 0.000 and increase each semester after that (0.001, 0.002, etc).

When counting the number of prior semesters, be sure to only include assignments that are for teaching courses, which are at least a semester or equivalent in length. Course preparation and development is not included for counting prior semesters. Sabbatical and Leave Without Pay (LWOP) also do not count.

You may use our Prior Semesters Count Tool linked below to assist you in counting your Adjunct's FTE.

For all other employee types, the FTE field is simply set to 1.00 and is not used to indicate anything.
