Adjunct Certification Log
The following requirements must be completed by adjuncts at the Adjunct Level by 12/31/17 or within three years of hire (if hired after 2015) to progress to Master Level adjunct status. Please be advised that the 6 topics do not necessarily equate to six workshops. For example, if you have attended a new adjunct orientation for Jackson College, then topics A & B have been met. Please note that your past trainings for Jackson College within the last 6 years may be considered as meeting requirements for certification. However, you must submit documentation of all past trainings for Jackson College that you wish to be considered. You are advised to maintain an electronic portfolio of your training and will be asked to submit these documents by October 15 of each year starting in 2015.
There are two times during the year when Adjuncts who completed their Master certification requirements can be officially activated as Master Adjuncts.
· To move to Master Adjunct status starting in the Fall, all requirements must be documented as being met by JUNE 15.
· To move to Master Adjunct in the Winter, all requirements must be documented as being met by OCTOBER 15.
