Course appointments for Part-time Faculty are tentative until the receipt of an appointment letter via MyDay, per the Collective Bargaining Agreements noted above. Faculty can view instructions for Acknowledging their Appointment Letters, as well as Viewing Acknowledged Appointment Letters in MyDay.

Part-time faculty members are paid on a biweekly basis (every other Friday). Total pay for teaching is calculated by multiplying the faculty member’s hourly rate by the total number of contact hours for the course he/she is teaching. The collective bargaining agreements set out minimum hourly rates for different types of teaching. For more information please refer to the Payroll Schedule.

Part-time faculty may receive additional pay for performing additional duties. These are university-requested activities outside their teaching assignment(s). Some duties are paid as a flat hourly or per term rate (with contracted Annual increases) or payments are calculated using the faculty member’s highest teaching rate. Rates for additional duties can be found in the collective bargaining agreement.

Questions about either teaching rates or additional duties payments should be directed to the appropriate University PTF Affairs contact.

Your safety is important to us. Therefore, the university provides an automated 24-hour campus alert phone number 212-229-7001 and a university advisory website, which are kept up-to-date concerning any situation that may cause a disruption or change in the university’s normal scheduling (e.g., weather delays, transit interruptions, facility problems, and so forth.) All members of The New School community can receive information from these sources.

All employees should review and familiarize themselves with information in the Campus Safety Guide.

Note: We highly recommend updating your preferences to be notified by SMS text message first to ensure you receive notifications as quickly and easily as possible.

Whether employee or student, the university automatically enters your name, “N” number, and New School email address in New School Alerts.
