The goal of ACT is to provide tools and resources that assist adjunct faculty in becoming more effective educators in the classroom. Certification requires an adjunct faculty member to complete the 10 specifically noted modules and at least one elective module. These are to be completed within a two-semester sequence.

Upon completion of ACT, the adjunct instructor should be:

• Cognizant of the college's mission
• Aware of policies and procedures of the academic branch
• Comfortable in the college's learning community
• Equipped with more resources to enhance student learning in the classroom.

ACT is limited to 40 participants each year. Any adjunct faculty member is encouraged to apply for ACT. Primary consideration will be given to adjunct faculty who have:

• An Individual Development Plan (IDP) on file in the Staff and Organizational Development Office
• The recommendation of his/her assistant dean
• Limited or no teaching experience.

Adjunct faculty who complete the ACT will receive a one-time stipend in the amount of $800.
