Guidance on Sessional/Adjunct Faculty (QAF 2.1.2.6 and 5.1.3.1.6)
For Section 2.1.2.6 b) and 5.1.3.1.6 b), please note the following:
For programs in which sessional/adjunct faculty have a large role: provide evidence of a long-term plan to ensure that a sustainable, quality program will be delivered when a large proportion of the courses are to be taught by sessional instructors/adjunct faculty. This should include a rationale for the use of a large number of sessional faculty for program delivery, how and from where sessional instructors will be recruited, concrete plans for how a stable and consistent approach to teaching the program’s learning outcomes will be ensured, and information regarding how a consistent assessment of the students’ achievement of these learning outcomes will be maintained under these circumstances.
