Part-Time Faculty Support Center

The Part-Time Faculty Support Center provides information, services and support to Part-Time faculty. Part-time faculty add an important dimension to our College's staff. The "real world" skills, exceptional knowledge and diverse experiences part-time faculty bring to TMCC play a significant role in accomplishing our instructional mission.

Designed as a centralized hub, the Part-Time Faculty Support Center's primary goal is to make the teaching experience at TMCC as convenient and enjoyable as possible.

How do I begin new phone service?

In your request, please provide the following details:

How do I contact my instructor if I'm unable to find them in the online Directory?

Currently, only full-time faculty and staff are listed in TMCC's online Directory. Please check your course syllabus; your instructor should have their preferred mode(s) of communication located at the top.

Also, visit classes.tmcc.edu to see if your instructor has a linked faculty website.

How do I find my instructor's contact information if I don't have access to the syllabus?

Most email addresses at TMCC consist of the person’s first initial followed by their last name at tmcc.edu (e.g., if your instructor's name is John Smith, the email address will most likely be "jsmith@tmcc.edu"). However, this may not always be the case, since some instructors may share a first initial and last name.

This is why we suggest contacting the department. To find the department's contact information:

Search Academics/Instruction. Every academic and administrative department on TMCC's website has a "Contact Us" page (located in the Section Menu) that lists their location and phone number.
Search the Academic Divisions and Units on the Vice President of Academic Affairs website, which lists the Chair for each Division and Department and also links to the department's Web page, where available:

If you are unsure which Division your instructor works in, please feel free to contact the Part-time Faculty Support Center.

How do I get an employee ID card?

Employees may obtain an employee ID card at the Welcome Center. Please bring a valid government-issued photo ID. Hours of operation are listed on the Welcome Center's website.

How do I request a key for the office?

Full-time Employees: Please complete the Key Request Form.
Part-time Faculty: Please contact the Part-time Faculty Support Center.

What do I do if a student is behaving inappropriately or is posing an immediate threat?

Threat of Imminent Injury: Call 911. If possible, evacuate the area.
Incident where a mild threat of violence occurs: Report the incident immediately to the TMCC Police Department at 775-674-7900.

When do I get paid?

Please see TMCC Human Resources Payroll Policies and Procedures.
