SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT

Because Extension is a division within UC San Diego, all Extension Program instructors and courses must be formally approved according to the regulations of the Academic Senate of the University of California.  Eligibility to teach a course is contingent upon this formal academic approval. Once approved, teaching assignments are “by agreement.”  The instructor’s Letter of Agreement outlines the deliverables for the course, the course schedule, and the compensation terms, subject to Extension policies and procedures.  UC San Diego Extension makes no commitment to hire an instructor until it has sent and received a signed instructor Letter of Agreement.  Should the course section an instructor plans to teach be cancelled for any reason, the instructor agreement, including rights to compensation for future section meetings, is voided.  Remuneration is for classroom hours only and does not include time spent for course preparation or other events.
