Commencement Commencement is held once each year in May. Full-time faculty are required to attend Commencement. Faculty are required to wear academic attire. Faculty who do not own the academic attire will have the College rent academic attire for them through an external vendor with the assistance of the Office of the Dean of Students and Campus Store. An email regarding renting academic attire will be sent annually in either February or March. In addition, all full- time faculty are required to attend, in academic attire, the annual Honors Convocation ceremony, held the week of Commencement. In rare instances, a faculty member may be excused from attending Commencement and/or Honors Convocation. Permission to be absent may be granted by the Vice President of Academic Affairs and Student Services. Two hours of leave per event must be recorded in Kronos. Employment Outside the College/Additional Employment Appropriateness of Employment Full-time employees of the College may engage in part-time employment elsewhere provided such outside work does not interfere with the performance of normal professional responsibilities, have an adverse effect upon the College, or create a conflict between the interests of the College and the employee. The College considers full-time employment to be a full-time commitment. Full-time employees who choose to work outside the College or in another division of the College that is considered outside of their normal job responsibilities must complete the Additional/Outside Employment Approval Form found in Kronos. Unacceptable Outside/Additional Employment In general, outside/additional employment is not permitted if: • It prevents employees from fully performing their work required of them while employed at the College, including overtime assignments or attending required college activities. In case of any conflict with an outside activity, the employee’s obligations to the College must be given priority, with the understanding that the College is their primary employer; • It involves organizations that are doing or seeking to do business with the College, including actual or potential vendors, customers, or grantors; or • It violates provisions of the law or College policy. Administrative Approval Full-time administrators and faculty must complete the “Additional/Outside Employment Approval Form” (obtained in Kronos), and receive proper approval prior to accepting employment in addition to their contractual agreement with the College. This Includes non- credit teaching at the College. The President may disapprove the outside/additional employment if it is considered to be detrimental to the performance of the employee’s responsibilities at the College, or the work is in conflict with the College’s interest. In such cases, the President will provide the employee with a rationale for denying outside/additional employment.
