How much would I be paid for part-time temporary (adjunct) teaching?
A. Part-time temporary faculty teach a variety of courses, including traditional classroom, distance learning, lab, self-paced, continuing education, and corporate training courses. Some courses are brief, lasting only a few hours, while others last the entire semester and require extensive classroom instruction. Since the types of courses adjunct faculty teach vary widely, no one pay scale reflects all the possibilities. For information about the pay for a specific course, you will need to contact the chair of the appropriate academic department. Pay increases with teaching experience at CSM. The chart below gives the current pay for many credit courses. One hour of class time per week equals one load equivalent. According to the chart, someone teaching a course with a three-load equivalent for the first time would receive $1,563, while someone teaching the course in the seventh semester would receive $2,166.
