Q: When will I receive access to my FSU account?
A: Your FSU account is activated after all required hiring paperwork is completed. If it has been more than two semesters since you last taught at FSU, you will need to be rehired before your account can be reactivated.
Q: When will I receive my contract?
A: DGCE faculty contracts are typically issued on the first day of the session. You will receive your contract through your FSU email and acknowledge it through myFramingham.
Q: How do I know my payment for the course?
A: The contract will outline course payments and the payroll timeline. You can also refer to the rate schedule for DGCE courses, which outlines specific rates for various course types by rank.
The rate schedule is for guidance purposes only. Certain courses have unique salary calculations based on course type and negotiated workload calculations. Your contract will list your official salary.
Q: How is my rank determined?
A: Rank is assigned by the Dean of DGCE at the time of hire based on the criteria outlined in the DGCE contract.
Q: How do I request a rank change?
A: If you have earned new credentials or otherwise believe you meet the criteria for a different rank, please email the Dean of DGCE with the relevant information for consideration. You may be required to provide evidence of new credentials, such as an official transcript.
Q: If my course is prorated because of low enrollment, how will my pay be calculated?
A: You will be paid a percentage of the total course rate according to enrollment for the course. The initial percentage will be applied on the date the contract is issued. If enrollment increases following the add/drop period, the pay will be adjusted and a revised contract will be issued. The percentage calculations are:
