Partnering with SPU's Continuing Education department makes it easy for you to offer clock hours and graduate level credit for your professional development workshops and seminars. To offer continuing education credits for the classes you teach, follow these instructions:
1. Download the syllabus for the class you are teaching. This will serve as a guide to you, will be turned in with the SPU course form and will inform students acquiring college credit of their grade requirements.
2. Go to: http://www.spu.edu/spiral/ and click on the Adjunct Faculty link. Download and complete the Adjunct Faculty Application and Spiral Course Forms found there and review the Adjunct Faculty Information and Professional Development Workshops sections of the SPIRAL website.
3. Submit Adjunct Faculty Application and Spiral Course Forms at least 3 weeks before your class. For subsequent classes once you have been accepted, you must submit the Spiral Course Forms at least 2 weeks before your class. The earlier a course form is submitted, however, the sooner confirmation of course approval and registration materials will be received.
The adjunct faculty position requires, at minimum, a master's degree and expertise in the field of teaching, either through academic preparation or life experience. However, instructors who are only approved to teach non-credit or CEU courses are not necessarily required to have a master's degree.
4. Follow all directions given to you by SPU SPIRAL program staff on how to complete and submit your continuing education coursework to SPU. SECURE does not need copies of this paperwork, but you will submit your SECURE paperwork to us as usual.
