Application Process for part-time Adjunct Instructors (on-site and online):

Thank you for your interest in becoming an Adjunct Instructor for Highland Community College.  In addition to the required HCC application form, an official transcript from each institution of higher education that you attended must be provided to complete the application process. Official transcripts are defined as those sent directly from each of the institutions you attended to my office. Your file cannot be considered complete and will not be reviewed until we have these official transcripts (both graduate and undergraduate). Transcripts should be sent to the attention of Human Resources. Additional application materials such as a copy of any certifications may also be submitted with the packet.  Please indicate on the application if you are interested in onsite or online courses, or both.

Please note that for most courses (except some vocational, remedial, and computer), 18 graduate hours in the field you wish to teach is a requirement.  Please note that our need for adjunct instructors varies from semester to semester and we cannot guarantee availability of classes every semester.

Once all application materials are received, your file will be reviewed for approval by the College.

HCC also accepts part-time Adjunct applications for Allied Health and Nursing instructors. Please visit the Available Positions link above to read more about those opportunities.

Online Instructors - Please note that we are currently set up for employment only in the following states: Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin.

If you do not live within one of the above named states, we will not be able to consider your application at this time.

Highland Community College Does NOT Sponsor Employee VISA's - Because of interest we occasionally receive from people who are working in the U.S. under some type of sponsorship, or who are looking for sponsorship to come to the U.S., HCC is informing all applicants that we do not sponsor any sort of VISA.  Anyone who comes to work for HCC must already be eligible to work for ANY employer in the U.S.  We would like to consider your application, but also do not want you to go through the entire application process and then discover we do not provide sponsorship for employment in the U.S. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
