L&S Guidelines for Instructional Appointments

The following document contains the policy links related to instructional appointments in L&S as it relates to SIS (Student Information System). Information on this KB will be updated to Workday language and resources after go-live on July 7th, 2025.

Per campus policy, instructors of for-credit courses must have active instructional appointments (as defined by the Registrar) during the term of instruction in the campus HR system (HRS). Instructors should also meet campus' minimum qualifications for instructional staff. This policy applies to instructors for Directed/Independent courses, as well as Group Instruction courses. Employees hired into instructional appointments will automatically be made available to be assigned to courses in SIS, when their appointment is added to HRS. 

Occasionally a department may need to assign a staff member with non-instructional appointment as an instructor in SIS.
