As a part of the application process, each instructor must submit a proposed course syllabus for each course in which approval is being sought. 

Each syllabus must include the following:

• Eastern course title (can be below the high school course title)
• Grading Policy
• Textbook or required course materials
• List of assessments
• List of learning outcomes
• Eastern academic integrity policy

Academic Integrity: Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the University’s numerous policies and procedures contained in the University Catalog and Student Handbook. The Code of Conduct policies and the policy on Academic Misconduct are of special significance, since cheating, plagiarism, and personal misconduct are strictly prohibited and carry severe penalties. Students should read and understand Eastern’s Academic Misconduct Policy, which can be found in the student handbook: https://easternct.makekb.com/entry/307/. All violations will be handled under the procedures established in this policy.

In addition, it is recommended to put information regarding the Academic Success Center (ASC) here at Eastern. Here is some recommended text you can use in your syllabus:

Academic Success Center: Students are encouraged to use the support offered by the Academic Success Center (ASC), located on the ground floor of the Library. Advising Services and tutoring in math, writing, and other subjects, including supplementary instruction, are available. The ASC also offers Peer Academic Coaching (PAC) assistance with study techniques, time management, ‘Eastern in 4” planning and understanding learning styles. For further information about our services, please call 860-465-4625 or check the ASC website: https://www.easternct.edu/academic-success/index.html.

For teachers interested in delivering Eastern courses at their high school, completing an online application and emailing additional supplemental items is required. Applications are reviewed by the appropriate Eastern department. Please know that the review process of these applications could take several weeks depending on department availability for meetings to discuss the applications. Dual Enrollment instructors may not begin teaching Eastern courses at their high school until their credentials and application have been officially approved by the university. 

Important dates:

• Instructors applying to teach a Dual Enrollment course in the Spring semester must submit all application materials no later than September 30th. 
• Instructors applying to teach a Dual Enrollment course in the Fall semester must submit all application materials no later than March 15th. 

Please follow the steps below for instructor approval.

Step 1:

If your school has never offered an Eastern Dual Enrollment course before, counselors should connect with Eastern's Dual enrollment team to start the process. Reach out at earlycollege@easternct.edu. 

Step 2:

Interested teachers: view application requirements and submit application materials

Eastern courses taught at partnering schools are identical to the courses taught on Eastern's campus. Courses must be either 100-level or 200-level to be considered for approval. View our current course options available for dual enrollment credit. 

High school teachers delivering these courses must meet the qualifications and requirements set for Eastern Connecticut State University adjunct faculty members. 

Applicants must have a master's degree in the discipline in which they are applying to teach. The appropriate academic department will determine whether applicants meet the qualifications to teach Eastern course(s) as Dual Enrollment instructors.

Step 3:

Once officially approved, start teaching! Remember to stay in touch - Instructors will be required to check-in with the supervising department, verify class rosters, and submit final grades. 

Dual Enrollment instructors are expected to participate in faculty development as determined by the supervising department and will be evaluated according to the supervising department's procedures for adjunct faculty members. Reappointment will be determined by the supervising department.
