Faculty Equivalency

Faculty Equivalency

The Equivalency Instructions are followed by the Faculty Equivalency Qualifications below.

Equivalency Instructions:

If an applicant for an academic position does not meet the Minimum Qualifications for Faculty and Administrators in California Community Colleges, they may still apply to the position under the Equivalency. Applying under the Equivalency means that the applicant feels they have a combination of education and experience that would be equivalent to the state minimum qualifications, allowing them to teach any class within the discipline.

To apply under the equivalency, an applicant must do the following:

  1. Complete an online academic application for the discipline in which you are applying on our Careers Page, including transcripts for all coursework completed. 
  2. Download and complete the Equivalency Determination Form. Save your document and submit it with your online application.
  3. Submit a separate written statement with your application explaining why you believe you meet the equivalency. This document is in addition to your cover letter.

Additional tangible evidence to support your request may be submitted, including:

  1. Certifications or licenses appropriate for the specific discipline;
  2. Publications that show either a command of the discipline in question or candidate’s writing skills;
  3. A written statement or portfolio of substantial artistic experience and/or accomplishments equivalent to the degree (e.g. performances, shows, exhibitions, compositions, or books).

The equivalency qualifications for each discipline below are in Adobe Acrobat Reader format.
