Key Differences Between Part-Time and Adjunct Faculty:

Generally, part-time faculty engage in a continuous relationship with Capella quarter after quarter.

The work assignments and workload may vary from quarter to quarter, but the part-time faculty member is provided with some level of work by Capella. Only part-time faculty members may participate in Mentoring or Committee work assignments or any other work assignment that may span four quarters.

Adjunct faculty members are not engaged with Capella in a continuous relationship. They do not work four quarters in any given calendar year, but are assigned work as they are available and as Capella has needs. As such, the workload for adjunct faculty members will be quite variable.

All part-time and adjunct faculty will be required to complete an unpaid faculty development course (FD 1800) as a pre-requisite for employment. This is an essential part of the selection process for both the faculty member and Capella.
