Faculty Handbook
If you are a new hire here at Delta, please read the faculty handbook so you may begin your semester successfully. Included, you will find a list of suggested procedures under the chapter titled: "You're Hired -Now What?" If you are a returning faculty member, I would equally encourage you to browse through this PDF as it includes a wealth of information including campus policies, contact information for various departments, and services available to you as an adjunct. The Faculty Handbook can be found on the Instruction and Planning page under Instructional Resources
