Responsibilities
Temporary faculty members are responsible for adherence to and implementation of university and system-wide policies as directed per Academic Policy Manual 306, paragraph 2.

All classes must be offered and meet as scheduled throughout the entire semester, in the mode assigned and listed in the schedule of classes (asynchronous, synchronous, in-person, or hybrid).
Appointment and Conditions
Conditional Appointment: Appointment is contingent upon budget and enrollment, and subject to order of assignment provisions in the collective bargaining agreement between California State University and California Faculty Association. The “Order of Work” assigns available courses in sequence, starting with tenure-line faculty and ending with new lecturer appointees. Appointees must demonstrate eligibility to work in the United States (Fresno State is not a sponsoring agency for Temporary Faculty positions).

The salary range for Temporary Faculty with a Master’s degree is $5,507–$6,677 per month when teaching full time (15 WTUs). Starting salaries are usually at or near the minimum of the range; actual salary will be adjusted based on the number of WTUs assigned per term.
Anticipated Semester
The temporary faculty pool is continuously open; positions are filled as needed based on student enrollment and funding. This is a pool of part-time lecturers for the department to draw on as necessary. The number of positions varies by semester and by department needs. Appointments from the pool are temporary and often made just prior to the start of the academic term. Applicants may need to be available to begin teaching on short notice. The pool remains in place for two academic terms; those wishing to remain beyond that time must reapply.
