WORK EXPERIENCE VERIFICATION:

Meeting Minimum Requirements: If the requirements for a position list work experience in a field or area the Applicant must provide written verification(s) of their applicable work experience in order to be hired for the position. Such written verification(s) of work experience must demonstrate that the applicant meets the minimum work experience requirement. Applicants who do not produce this information as indicated will be ineligible for hire and subject to having any offer of employment withdrawn.

Salary Calculation: For all faculty positions on the D-1 Salary Schedule, the salary amount for the selected applicant is determined by step and rank placement on the applicable schedule. Rank placement is dependent upon the applicants highest applicable degree and/or applicable credit hours.
