Faculty Appointments

Regular on-campus courses

This includes courses during on-campus three-, six-, and eight-week Summer Session periods, as well as three-week Winter Session courses.

If your course is approved with the salary guaranteed, you will be paid according to the provost's Faculty Policy for the School. (University rules permit Cornell faculty members on nine-month appointments who teach in the Summer Session to receive no more than the equivalent of three months' additional salary.) If your fully approved course has no enrollment, you will be paid $500 in consideration for preparation time.

If your course is approved "on demand" (on a contingency basis), a special salary scale and payment schedule will apply.

Special Programs

Please contact Mary Adie for additional information about Special Program appointments.

Additional information for visiting faculty

A new Faculty Center provides a single entry point to the tools faculty need to advise students and to view class information (teaching schedule, class rosters, and grading information). In order to use the Faculty Center web site, you will need to activate your net id.

If you are a visiting faculty member who has not taught during previous Summer/Winter sessions, or whose appointment status has changed, your vitae must be submitted to the School office. Also you must now have a new I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification Form) placed on file with the School before a payroll appointment can be processed. You must complete a new I-9 every time you have not been on the payroll for one year or each time you are appointed if you are a visiting foreign faculty member.

If you are visiting foreign faculty, your sponsoring department must also file a Request for Issuance of Form IAP-66 with the International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO) as early as possible and send a copy of that to the School.

Compensation

Please note that you must sign both the original copy of your appointment letter and also the Inventions and Related Property Rights Acknowledgement form and return these to us. We will not be able to process your appointment until we have both of these documents.

All salary and paydate information is provided to each faculty member in her or his appointment letter. Please refer to that information and contact Ruby Brown for regular summer/winter courses, Mary Adie for Special Programs, or Donna Cook with any additional questions.

Beginning May 1, 2008, paychecks will be mailed to the employee’s home address (W-4 address) and advices will only be available electronically via the electronic ePay application. If you have signed up for direct deposit, it may take at least one paycheck before this happens. Users are required to sign in using a Kerberos NetID and password.

Cash Advance

All faculty members involved in field study Special Programs and Special Programs abroad should contact Mary Adie, program manager, to discuss their programs. If you will need a cash advance, your program budget must be approved and enough tuition income received to cover the advance at least six weeks before it is needed.
