Adjunct Appreciation Week: There are many benefits available to adjunct faculty

Did you know that part-time Adjunct Faculty are granted paid time off equal to the number of contact hours they are assigned for the semester (e.g., 12 hours will equal 12 clock hours of paid time off)? This PTO is granted each semester and is not cumulative.

Adjunct faculty members teaching half time or more (7.5 contact hours or 6 contact hours if teaching English Composition) may be eligible to purchase health insurance plans through GRCC. For insurance options and rates, please contact Maria Belmares Herrera at 616-234-4052 or Debra Davis at 616-234-4175.

Any adjunct faculty member teaching 6 contact hours or more is eligible for a $12,000 employer paid Life Insurance policy. All adjunct faculty should complete the Madison National Life Insurance Form as the benefit is available any semester an adjunct meets the contact hour requirement. Please contact Debra Davis at Debradavis1@grcc.edu for a hard copy of the form.
