What makes up an Application Packet?
1. A completed employment application.
You must complete each section. Statements such as "See Resume" or "See VITA" do not substitute for completing any portion of the application. Failure to provide this information may result in your application not receiving proper consideration.
2. Official Transcripts that document your awarded degree.
-
You may substitute photocopies of Official Transcripts.
-
Do not send Internet generated transcripts. Many times these types of transcripts do not show awarded degrees, the name of the institution or your name.
-
If your transcript(s) is hard to read because it has been copied too many times or some of the information has been copied off the page, please request new transcripts. When you make your copies, please remember to send a copy of the key/legend found on the back of originals.
-
Include copies of all your transcripts as qualifications are often determined by course work. We do not consider course work listed as “transfer credits” on transcripts.
-
If you graduated from a non-US school, you will need to have your transcripts evaluated by an approved foreign transcript evaluation agency.
3. Letters of Experience.
These letters should be on official company letterhead. Letters must contain the following information:
-
Defined dates of experience (You may need to submit more than one letter if you have not worked for one employer long enough to satisfy the length of experience required).
-
List specific duties, i.e.: has worked and provided training in Access for 5 years or has been a journeyman plumber or has taught math for 3 years along with history, English and science.
4. Licenses/Certificates.
Some positions require an occupational license or certificate. We do not require originals, copies should be clear and complete.You may use a business license if you have been self-employed and need documentation.

Short term course checks will be automatically mailed and full semester checks will be available for pick up on the pay date or can be mailed at the instructors request.

What are 'vital records' for a course? Vital records are FTSE rosters (if applicable), grade rosters, grade book sheets, attendance sheets and any incomplete contracts. These are necessary to maintain accurate student records.

What if I do temporary work (registration clerk, tutor, advisor) as well as associate faculty work? If you do both associate faculty work and another temporary position, all of your pay checks will go to the Enrollment Services office. If they do not have any outstanding vital records for you, they will immediately send your check to you via postal mail.

What is my 'home campus'? This is the campus that you teach on the most and where your pay check will be sent. Human Resources maintains this data. You will be asked to verify your home campus once a year at faculty orientation. If you would like to check your current home campus, call Human Resources (ext 1161).

For short courses,it is generated 1-2 weeks after the final drop date of the course. For 15-week courses, it is generated 2-3 weeks after the final drop date of the course.

What is the difference between a short course and a full-semester course? Short courses are any that run for less than 15-weeks. These courses are paid on the next available pay date after the completion of the course, assuming payroll cut-off deadlines can be met. Payroll cut-off dates are approximately one week prior to the 15th and the last day of the month. Full-semester courses are those that run for 15-weeks in the traditional fall and spring sessions. Payment for these courses occurs in two payments, each payment is half of the total. These courses have their own pay dates which are set by the Business Services Department at the beginning of each semester and posted on the HR page of the MCC website.
