We have created a new L&S KB to document Standard appointment levels (FTE) for Short-term Staff (STS) Instructors. This KB shares standardized guidelines for determining FTE for STS appointments.

For STS instructional appointments beginning Fall 2025, please refer to the KB article "L&S Appointment Levels for Short-term Instructional Staff (STS) and Lecturer Student Assistants (LSAs)<https://kb.wisc.edu/luwpartners/page.php?id=148240>."

Appointment levels are primarily determined by the credits/contact time of the course being instructed, regardless of the instructional title. Lecturer Student Assistants (LSAs) may be offered extra FTE for professional development<https://kb.wisc.edu/ls/32748#PD> in the appointment. LSA appointments including professional development should not exceed a total FTE of 50%.

As a reminder, requests for STS instructors may be submitted using the Instructional Staffing Request Form<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=IYOmLNoOCEmIskJKjLSw-TGNsrJ3JjVDqb6KRdiCNCVUNUVYWFpBSFRVUVZMWDBFMzc1UkxYTjlFRSQlQCN0PWcu&route=shorturl__;!!Mak6IKo!NWyJBkfg45bPPVi5bF9fkPP3QL3u0YkdezYmFAHBxUyvcfXJ3dioxgh6Qv44wc7bcWzY-DmDYClOH9fiFp5Rb7nAa1zAiak8X6-M-Qk$ > (instructions<https://kb.wisc.edu/ls/119153>).
