Medical Assistant - Adjunct Faculty

We are looking to develop a pool of adjunct instructors to teach. Part‑time faculty are paid on a lecture hour equivalent (LHE) basis. For most courses the LHE is the same as a credit hour. In some cases the LHE represents additional work such as grading papers for composition classes or teaching a class with a laboratory section; in those cases the LHE represents a figure higher than the credit hour. All part‑time faculty start at the beginning pay rates, regardless of the level and type of experience obtained elsewhere. For the 2025‑26 academic year rates are $1221/LHE for faculty without doctorates and $1294/LHE for faculty with doctorates. Part‑time faculty advance one step within the salary schedule with the successful completion of 2 fall & spring semesters where 3+ LHEs are taught each semester. Part‑time faculty are hired on a semester‑by‑semester basis. A reasonable effort is made to assure assignment of courses to more senior part‑time faculty who are fully qualified by virtue of their education, training, work experience as related to current technology and pedagogical techniques, and who have had a history of successful performance at Oakton College. All assignments are conditioned on sufficient enrollment. Once a course starts, the part‑time faculty member is expected to complete the course.
