Instructor Application

We are currently looking for Instructors to teach over 60 sections of the Introduction to University Life (ASC 101) course for the upcoming Fall semester. Introduction to University Life is a one-credit course that assists new students in making a successful transition to Cleveland State University both academically and personally through engaged learning experiences. This course is designed to help new students build relationships, engage in the curricular and co-curricular experience, develop civility, connect to various resources, and understand the expectations of Cleveland State University. It also aims to help students develop and practice skills in the areas of critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. The class meets in-person, one day a week, for 50 minutes, for 15 weeks. Our staff in First Year Experience provide a number of resources, syllabus templates, and other forms of support to set all instructors up for success in teaching this course.

We are looking for candidates who are able to work as team members as well as independently. All instructors must possess at least a master's degree in order to teach a section of ASC 101. Prior teaching or training experience is preferred. Instructors must be patient, flexible, creative, efficient communicators and have a positive attitude to teach Introduction to University Life (ASC 101). 

Please note: Any part-time, single term instructor candidate who is not already/no longer affiliated with Cleveland State University (CSU faculty/staff) and has never taught a course at CSU within the Division of Enrollment Management & Student Success (formerly a part of the Department Undergraduate Studies) must also complete an application through Human Resources.
