There’s a lot to keep track of as we work to ensure our courses and teaching practices are prepared, personal, and proven:

Before the Term Begins

  • HIRE LETTERS: Review and respond to your e-hire letter for each course you teach. Note: Undergraduate faculty may also receive an “availability” inquiry for planning purposes only; the actual agreement is marked as “agreement” and you need to respond to it even if you already indicated you were available. Your agreement includes critical information related to expectations, textbooks, syllabi, etc.
  • TEXTBOOKS: If applicable, select and submit textbook information as instructed (info for undergraduate courses available here). Confirm with your hiring supervisor whether a textbook has already been ordered. Click here for info about ordering a desk copy. Verify your textbook: check the Bookstore to see which textbook students will be ordering for your class and be sure to use the edition(s) listed in the bookstore.
