Teaching Dual Credit at Waubonsee

The approval process for a high school faculty member to teach a dual credit course is consistent with the standards used for an adjunct faculty member at Waubonsee and corresponds with guidelines from our governing body, the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB). Waubonsee's academic division dean will examine your qualifications, including a résumé, degree credentials, teaching competency, years of teaching experience, etc., and may conduct an interview if they feel it is necessary. After the dean reviews your materials, they will confirm or deny your approval based on whether you meet Waubonsee's adjunct faculty qualifications to teach. The academic division dean has the authority make the final decision regarding the initial and subsequent approvals of faculty teaching courses for Waubonsee Community College in the high schools.

Instructors go through a one-time orientation before the start of your first dual credit course. From there, you will have regular requirements from Waubonsee for every semester that you teach a dual credit course. These responsibilities include but may not be limited to providing a copy of your course syllabus to Waubonsee, organizing and assisting your students with their course registration forms, verifying your Waubonsee roster online, reporting your midterm attendance online, and posting your final grades online.

For year-long courses at high schools that cover the topics and meet the objectives of a semester course at Waubonsee, students will be registered and receive credit for the class in the semester that they complete all the material.

To see if your high school offers dual credit courses at its facility, see our participating high schools list.

We also provide course documents and other resources to help you have a successful semester.
