INTRODUCTION

This manual lists the credentialing guidelines that are used by Palm Beach State College in selecting and hiring full-time and adjunct faculty. These criteria are based on the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACS-COC) guidelines on faculty credentials and Palm Beach State College policy on faculty credentialing. To ensure the highest quality teaching faculty, the College’s standard for all credit classes is that full-time and adjunct faculty must possess a master’s degree. There are exceptions in some disciplines, but all exceptions must be approved by the Vice President of Academic Affairs (VPAA). All degrees and coursework must be earned from a regionally accredited college or university. Accreditation status of an institution can be checked at The Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) website at http://www.chea.org. The complete Palm Beach State instructional credentialing criteria by discipline are included in this manual and are also located online at: http://www.palmbeachstate.edu/academicservices/information-and-reference/Academic-Management-Manual.

Faculty

The institution employs competent faculty members qualified to accomplish the mission and goals of the institution, https://www.palmbeachstate.edu/ire/StrategicPlanning/default.aspx. When determining acceptable qualifications of its faculty, an institution gives primary consideration to the highest earned degree in the discipline in accord with the guidelines listed below. The institution also considers competence, effectiveness, and capacity, including, as appropriate, undergraduate and graduate degrees, related work experiences in the field, professional licensure and certifications, honors and awards, continuous documented excellence in teaching, or other demonstrated competencies and achievements that contribute to effective teaching and student learning outcomes. For all cases, the institution is responsible for justifying and documenting the qualifications of its entire faculty.

Credentialing Guidelines

a. Faculty teaching baccalaureate level courses: a doctorate or a master’s degree in the teaching discipline or a master’s degree with a concentration in the teaching discipline (a minimum of 18 graduate semester hours in the teaching discipline). At least 25 percent of the discipline course hours in each major at the baccalaureate level are taught by faculty members holding the terminal degree—usually the earned doctorate— in the discipline, or the equivalent of the terminal degree.

b. Faculty teaching general education courses: a doctorate or a master’s degree in the teaching discipline or a master’s degree with a concentration in the teaching discipline (a minimum of 18 graduate semester hours in the teaching discipline).

c. Faculty teaching associate degree courses designed for transfer to the baccalaureate degree: a doctorate or a master’s degree in the teaching discipline, or a master’s degree with a concentration in the teaching discipline (a minimum of 18 graduate semester hours in the teaching discipline).

d. Faculty teaching associate degree courses not designed for transfer to the baccalaureate degree: a master’s degree in the teaching discipline; a baccalaureate or associate degree and demonstrated competencies in the teaching discipline is acceptable in limited disciplines.

e. Faculty teaching Developmental Education courses must have a baccalaureate degree in a discipline related to the teaching assignment.

f. Faculty teaching noncredit occupational and non-degree diploma courses (CCP, CCE, Avocational): college degree and/or specialized training/industry certifications; competence gained through work experience; minimum academic preparation must be at the same level at which the instructor is teaching. (For all courses, coursework within the degree must reflect competencies in the courses to be taught.)

July 2021

The VPAA and the Academic Deans reserve the right to review individual courses for competencies.

In addition, all faculty must meet any other requirements of program, discipline or course accreditation/certification (i.e., State Board of Nursing, Florida Department of Law Enforcement).

Faculty Hiring Process

1. Full-time faculty, temporary full-time faculty and program instructors – Refer to the procedures and guidelines established by Human Resources in the Talent Acquisition Manual. All forms and procedures needed for the process are located at http://www.palmbeachstate.edu/academicservices/information-and-reference/Faculty-Credentialing-Tools.aspx. For new full-time faculty, the VPAA must review the paper faculty roster for all potential candidates to be interviewed prior to any telephone or in-person interviews being scheduled with applicants.

2. Adjunct Faculty – Hiring administrators, in cooperation with department chairs where applicable, are

responsible for recruiting, interviewing and hiring adjunct instructors. All credentials must be approved following the process outlined below prior to the person assuming teaching duties.

For full-time and adjunct faculty, it is the responsibility of the hiring administrator to ensure that the faculty member’s degrees were awarded from a regionally accredited college or university, and this information must appear on the faculty roster. All faculty (regardless of part-time or full-time status or of class delivery method) must meet the same credentialing criteria as stated in this manual.

Credentialing Process

Step 1 – Potential Instructor formally applies to Palm Beach State All potential instructors should formally apply to the college to ensure eligibility to work in the United States and submit copies of their transcript through the online application system, Workday. Step 2 – Prepare the Faculty Roster For Credit, Developmental Education, and CCP Faculty - All faculty who teach Credit, Developmental Education and CCP courses must have a Dean submit to the Deans’ Council a completed online Faculty Roster form, listing relevant degrees, coursework, certifications, licenses, and verified work experience (if applicable based on credentialing criteria). The Dean should carefully review the candidate’s credentials to ensure strict compliance with the credentialing guidelines prior to sending the roster for a full Deans’ Council and VPAA review. When reviewing graduate transcripts which include both semester and quarter hours, each graduate course in the discipline should be listed on the online Faculty Roster form, with the appropriate placement of graduate semester hours in the credit hour column, using the conversion formula below. For individuals whose graduate transcript shows all quarter hours, a minimum of 27 graduate quarter hours is required for credentialing. Conversion of all credit hours should be made to semester hours when both types of credit have been taken. The online system will automatically compute these formulas on the form.

Formulae: 1 quarter hour = .667 semester hour

1 semester hour=1.5 quarter hours

Example: An individual possesses a Master’s degree in the discipline with 15 graduate semester hours in the discipline, and a second transcript from another accredited institution with 5 quarter semester hours:

5 quarter semester hours x .667 = 3.335 equated semester hours 15 semester hours+3.335 = 18.335 semester hours.

July 2021

Additional Notes: 1. Undergraduate classes taken as an undergraduate cannot count towards graduate hours in the discipline. 2. Courses taken that are described as eligible for counting towards a Bachelor’s degree or graduate degree may be

counted if the course is taken after admission into graduate school and if it is counted towards the graduate degree in the appropriate discipline.

For CCE and other noncredit Faculty: All faculty who teach CCE and other noncredit courses (avocational and lifelong learning) must have the appropriate Dean and/or Associate Dean approve the completed online Faculty Roster form, which must include information on degrees and any relevant certifications, experience and/or licensures. This online form is submitted directly to Academic Services without a Deans’ Council review. Step 3 – VPAA and Academic Deans Review – An Academic Dean will submit the roster for review through the Online Faculty Credentialing Database (OFCD) – log into the page at: http://intranet.palmbeachstate.edu/forms/facultycredentialing/default.aspx?fcpage=userlogin). A unanimous “approve” vote must be recorded; if the “approve” vote is not unanimous, the credential must be reviewed during a regularly scheduled Academic Deans meeting. All applicants with foreign credentials (defined as awarded in a country other than the United States of America or one of its territories) must be evaluated by one of the Palm Beach State College approved foreign transcript evaluation and translation services on the following web page: http://www.palmbeachstate.edu/academicservices/information-and-reference/Faculty-Credentialing-Tools.aspx

The VPAA has final approval of Credit/Prep/CCP faculty rosters.

All faculty must meet the stated credentials in this manual. In exceptional cases, faculty not meeting the stated criteria may be considered for appointment using the following guidelines: Exceptions to stated faculty credentials occur in two cases:

1. The faculty member has outstanding professional experience and demonstrated contributions to the teaching discipline, which may be presented in lieu of formal academic preparation.

2. The faculty member has training in a closely related discipline and the competencies needed to teach the course objectives were covered in the related disciplines.

In these cases, the Dean and/or Associate Dean must provide documentation as to how the faculty member’s experience and/or education allows him/her to teach the objectives in the course, using the Justification and Exceptions form, located in the forms section of the manual and online at: http://www.palmbeachstate.edu/academicservices/documents/Justification.docx

This information must also be copied into the online faculty roster through the OFCD.

Step 4 – Loading Faculty Credentials on the PantherNet System - After the credential has been approved by the VPAA and the Academic Deans for Credit/Preparatory/CCP, or by a Dean or Associate Dean for CCE/avocational, the department sends the approved request to Academic Services. The faculty member will then be loaded onto the PantherNet system by Academic Services (provided that the person has been processed in Workday by Human Resources).

Step 5 – Official Transcripts sent to Human Resources - The faculty member is responsible for ensuring that official transcripts are sent to Human Resources. If the Human Resources office has not received the adjunct’s official transcript in the initial term in which they are teaching, they cannot continue to teach in subsequent terms at Palm Beach State until such time the official transcript is received. This is college policy and must be followed. Faculty Roster All faculty will be credentialed using the online Faculty Roster form through the OFCD system. The paper roster form in the appendix is only to be used to review faculty credentials of full-time candidates before they are granted an in-person interview. The paper roster is submitted by the Dean or Associate Dean to the VPAA for review.

Discipline FAQs

1. Can lawyers, individuals with Juris Doctorates, teach political science, criminal justice or business law? To teach political science, an individual must have 18 graduate semester hours in political science; a Juris Doctorate can teach business law (BUL) and criminal justice law (CJL) courses.

2. Can social workers teach sociology? A Master’s degree with 18 graduate semester hours in the discipline, specifically sociology, is required to teach this subject. Social work clinical courses cannot count towards meeting the graduate semester hour minimum. In most cases; a M.S.W. does not have the credentials to teach sociology.

3. Are guidance counselors eligible to teach psychology? A Master’s degree with 18 graduate semester hours in the disciplines of psychology or counseling psychology is required to teach this subject. Graduate hours in educational guidance counseling may not be applied.

4. May graduate courses in Mathematics Education, with a prefix of EDU(C), count towards the requisite graduate hours in mathematics? Mathematics Education graduate courses may be counted as graduate hours towards the discipline of mathematics only if the course title strongly suggests that graduate mathematics discipline content was covered. Courses with emphasis on pedagogy or teaching methods cannot be used to qualify an individual to teach college level mathematics. Please see Appendix B for courses from Nova Southeastern University that will count towards the 18 graduate semester hours in mathematics.

General FAQs

1. Do all persons teaching need to be credentialed, even CCE and avocational? Yes, all faculty need to be credentialed through the process established in the credentialing manual. Associate Deans/Deans can directly credential faculty for CCE and avocational; all program based (credit, prep and CCP) will need clearance through the Academic Deans and the VPAA.

2. I’m just updating an existing instructor for an additional course – do I still need approval from the VPAA and Academic Deans? Yes. For example, if a person has been teaching MAT 1033 Intermediate Algebra, their credentials would need to be reviewed to see if they could teach other math classes. It is best to prepare a faculty roster from the start with all possible courses a faculty member is qualified to teach even if they might not initially be teaching those courses.

3. What should the sequence be for hiring an instructor – is it important?


B-5

July 2021

Yes, very important. For any potential instructor, the first step should be for the person to complete an application online at www.palmbeachstate.edu/employment and confirm their eligibility to work in the U.S. The second step should be to obtain an official or unofficial transcript and prepare the faculty roster for Academic Deans’ review for submission to Academic Services. The third step should be adding the person to the class as a primary or secondary instructor. The fourth step should be to create the pending assignment through the IRM process with Human Resources. If events happen out of sequence, delays will occur. For example, if you have someone’s credentials approved BEFORE they have applied to HR, there is no way that the person’s credentials can be loaded onto PantherNet because they do not exist in the HR system. Academic Services personnel then have to check daily to see when the person is loaded as an applicant or employee and then add the credentials.

Steps: 1. Potential instructor should apply through this employment link,

https://www.palmbeachstate.edu/employment/default.aspx 2. Review of faculty credentials – Academic Services adds to PantherNet if approved 3. Add person to class as instructor (see Section C of the manual) 4. Create pending assignment in PantherNet using the IRM process (see Section E of the manual)

4. What if I am not sure if the person qualifies under the credentialing criteria, or I think the criteria are incorrect or incomplete? The purpose of the VPAA and Academic Deans’ review is to gain input from colleagues on an instructor’s credentials to teach, given our written criteria. Our goal is to use the credentialing manual as written for the 2019-20 academic year.

5. Does Academic Services perform a “final check” against the credentialing manual, and keep files for the submitted faculty rosters? No, Academic Services personnel do not re-check any credentialing eligibility – the credential is added or updated and a date notation is added to the electronic file. Faculty roster forms are not kept.

De-credentialing of Faculty

All requests for faculty credentials to be removed should be sent directly to the VPAA with an explanation of the reasoning.

De-Credentialing Recommendation Form

PBSC District Board of Trustees (DBOT) Policy 6Hx-18-5.25 Criteria for Academic and Professional Preparation for Full and Part-time Faculty established faculty qualifications based on SACSCOC Faculty Credentials Guidelines and SACSCOC Principles of Accreditation Standard 6.2.a (Faculty qualifications). (see: SACSCOC Faculty Credentialing Guidelines https://sacscoc.org/app/uploads/2019/07/faculty-credentials.pdf). In addition to the criteria for each discipline outlined in the credentialing manual, the College also considers competence, effectiveness, and capacity, including, as appropriate, undergraduate and graduate degrees, related work experience in the field, professional licensure and certification, honors and awards, continuous documented excellence in teaching, or other demonstrated competencies and achievements that contribute to effective teaching and student learning outcomes. To ensure the academic quality and integrity of its academic offerings, the College may also de-credential the qualifications of a faculty member with set justifications. PBSC’s Faculty De-Credentialing Approval Process: All recommendations for faculty credentials to be removed from the Online Faculty Credentialing Database (OFCD) should be sent directly to the VPAA for approval. Each submission should include clear explanation, with justification and supporting documentation for the recommendation. The following are the steps for recommending faculty de-credentialing:

Step 1: An Academic Dean may initiate a recommendation to de-credential a full-time or part-time faculty by processing the request through the Online Faculty Credentialing Database (OFCD). The Academic Dean should carefully review the information to be submitted to ensure strict compliance with the de-credentialing set justifications and confirm the appropriateness of the documentation prior to submitting the recommendation for VPAA and or Deans Council review.

Step 2: VPAA and/or the Academic Deans Council will complete a thorough review of all de-credentialing recommendations and documentation.

Step 3: Notifications: If the de-credentialing recommendation is approved by the VPAA and/or Deans Council, the VPAA’s office will notify the Office of Human Resources, if appropriate based on the decision and provide the necessary supporting documentations. The VPAA’s office will also provide documentation to the Office of Academic Services with a set date to update Faculty Credentials on the PantherNet System.

Step 4: Academic Services will process the de-credentialed request and update the faculty database and PantherNet system. Notification will be sent via the Online Faculty Credentialing Database (OFCD) to Academic Deans. At PBSC de-credentialing is the process by which the VPAA and or Academic Deans Council determines whether a faculty member’s or instructor’s academic credentials should be partially or fully removed from PBSC’s Online Faculty Credentialing Database (OFCD).

Please complete this form to initiate the de-credentialing review process.

Justification for De-Credentialing: Circle which number best represents the condition that applies to this request [#1] or [#2].

Faculty Member:

1. Does not meet credentialing requirements set forth in the appropriate section of the Credentialing Manual based upon

updated review of the official transcript and/or other required supporting documents, or does not meet degree and course

work guidelines based on review of results of evaluation of his/her foreign credentials by a foreign credentials evaluation

service and other supporting documentation, or does not meet degree and course work guidelines, but has been

recommended for de-credentialing based on review of documentation in the portfolio presented, or demonstrated

inefficiency in meeting established program and or course outcomes.

2. Demonstrated or self-reported incapacity, or inability to fulfill teaching responsibilities for the course, or demonstrated

conduct unbecoming a professor/instructor, or other just cause, or other just cause shall include, but not be limited to,

violation of the PBSC District Board of Trustees Policy and/or the provisions outlined in the PBSC Faculty Handbook and/or

provisions outlined in the PBSC Academic Management Manual.

Note: On occasion, it is determined that a faculty member is no longer qualified to work at PBSC. The procedure for this

action is different from simply removing some of the courses the faculty member teaches and might require some action by

the Office of Human Resources after the approval of the Deans Council and VPAA.

Position Statement from HAPS on Human Anatomy and Physiology Society

Approved November 19, 2005

Position Statement on Accreditation of Faculty in 2-semester Human Anatomy and Physiology Courses

HAPS • 8816 Manchester, Suite 314 • St. Louis, MO 63105 1-800-448-4277 • http://www.hapsweb.org

Background: The 2-semester/3-quarter undergraduate course usually known as "Human Anatomy and Physiology" or simply "Anatomy and Physiology" is a large introductory course that may be offered by the Biology, Zoology, or Natural Sciences departments. Nationwide, roughly two-thirds of these courses are taught at community colleges, and the rest primarily at universities. This is one of the larger introductory level courses, with approximately 450,000 students enrolled each year in the US and Canada. The majority of students taking the 2-semester A&P course are planning a career in the health sciences. The career paths include nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, radiation technology, laboratory/medical technology, dental hygiene, pharmacology and other related disciplines. Students majoring in physical education, sports training, or kinesiology make up a smaller component of the classroom population. At community colleges the course is often taken in the first year of college, without college-level prerequisites. Entry into any one of the career programs listed above is contingent upon successful completion of the A&P course with a grade of C or above; in competitive programs, the grade requirements may be much more restrictive. It is important to note that pre-medical students and biology majors do not typically take this course because it is an option that does not count towards their degree requirements. Instead, they will take Majors Biology (or Zoology/Botany) as freshmen, followed by more specialized and detailed upper level courses in their junior and senior years. However, the distinction between biology majors and allied health majors is an administrative convenience and not an indication that A&P is anything other than an integrative biological science.

Anatomy and Physiology as a Biological Science: As an introductory level survey course, A&P covers a diversity of topics, including not only anatomy and physiology, but introductory biochemistry, cytology, histology, molecular biology, genetics, immunology, nutrition, embryology, and pathology. The coverage is so diverse, and the principles so relevant to a general understanding of modern biology, that a 1-semester version of this course is often used to satisfy the general biology requirements for non-major students. Two-semester A&P courses are usually taught from the Biology, Zoology, or Natural Sciences departments; in rare cases, the sequence may be offered by another academic division (e.g. a department within an associated medical school) as a service course. As a result, the diversity of faculty roughly approaches the diversity of topics presented within the course.

The Need for Standardization of Criteria for the Selection and Accreditation of Faculty: Faculty qualification standards that are too lax make it difficult for the assigned faculty to teach the core curriculum topics, whereas standards that are too restrictive negatively impact both faculty and students. It is in the best interests of all parties to use a standardized set of criteria when evaluating the faculty of anatomy and physiology courses during an accreditation review. For example, at one college the application of overly restrictive standards, which refused to accept comparative, vertebrate, mammalian, or clinical courses among the relevant course credits required for faculty qualification, led to the dismissal of faculty and the elimination of associated A&P and Microbiology courses from the curriculum. It is our position that Human Anatomy and Physiology is a subset of biology, and the course has extensive overlap with other biological sciences. Opportunities to obtain an M.S. or Ph.D. degree in “human anatomy and physiology” are extremely limited, but there is so much duplication of coverage among courses in modern biology that such specialization is unnecessary. Because the basic anatomical, physiological, histological, and developmental patterns are found across the vertebrate lineage (and often across the major animal phyla), a great diversity of biology courses are directly applicable to human A&P. We also believe that any evaluation


B-167

July 2021

of current or potential instructors should consider graduate and postgraduate teaching experience in courses related to anatomy and physiology toward satisfaction of minimum criteria. HAPS has developed accreditation standards based on a survey of successful anatomy and physiology courses nationwide. We feel that these criteria are sufficient to demonstrate that an instructor is competent to teach a 2-semester anatomy and physiology course. We are therefore encouraging all accreditation agencies and college administrations to use these criteria when evaluating courses or prospective faculty.

The HAPS Standards for Instructors in Anatomy and Physiology: The HAPS minimum criteria for teaching the introductory level A&P course are (1) a Master’s degree in one of the biological sciences and (2) 18 related credit hours as defined below. A professional degree (M.S.N., M.D., D.O., D.C. D.V.M., or other advanced clinical degrees awarded by nationally accredited institutions) may be accepted as fulfilling the degree requirements. Instructors must be prepared to integrate introductory level chemistry and biochemistry not only with anatomy and physiology, but with a variety of other relevant topics in biology, including cytology, cell physiology, histology, organology, microbiology, immunology, embryology, and nutrition. Because of the interrelatedness of topics in biology, a course in any one of the topics above must of necessity include a significant amount of anatomy and physiology. Using the HAPS Curriculum Guidelines as a reference, Attachment 1 lists courses that are relevant to the teaching of anatomy and physiology at the introductory level. This list is intended as a reference and a guide, not as a comprehensive or exclusionary listing of applicable courses. The 18 related credit hours can be accumulated through a combination of (1) undergraduate and graduate course work, (2) teaching experience as a graduate teaching assistant or as graduate or postgraduate faculty in A&P courses, (3) postgraduate course work in human anatomy and physiology, including continuing education credits, (4) research in the field of A&P as evidenced by publication in peer-reviewed journals. Credits should be calculated as follows:

- for coursework: the credits awarded on the relevant student transcripts or continuing education certificate - for graduate TA work or as faculty while a graduate student: the credits awarded on the graduate student transcript or the

credit value of the course - for postgraduate teaching: 3 credits for each semester taught - for continuing education: the CE credits or units awarded for satisfactory completion of coursework in human anatomy

and/or physiology - for research publications: 3 credits for each peer-reviewed journal article

Any questions regarding this position statement should be directed to the HAPS President and the Board of Directors. A current copy of the Course and Curriculum Guidelines may be downloaded from the HAPS website at http://www.hapsweb.org.
