The Academic Dean will review the instructor candidate’s materials and evaluate them for required qualifications. They will then complete the Faculty Qualifications Review (FQR) form on all candidates for final consideration. Once reviewed, the Concurrent Enrollment Academic Affairs Manager will notify the applicant of the decision. If approved, the signed FQR, along with supporting documentation, is placed in the hired instructor’s personnel filed housed in the Human Resources office to initiate the CE Onboarding Process.
