The School of Social Work is committed to ensuring that you have a meaningful and enjoyable experience as you join us in teaching social work students for the semester. Below is a list of many resources and supports that may make your part-time teaching appointment a smooth one.
Paychecks & Contracts
Payroll Office
101 Hovey Hall, Normal
309-438-7677
http://www.comptroller.ilstu.edu/faculty/payroll/
Faculty are paid monthly, on the last working day of each month with the only exception being December. Paychecks and contracts generate the contract once the following is received: 1) vitae, 2) I-9 form, and 3) an official transcript.
The official transcript need not be included to begin this process, but it must be provided as soon as possible. The I-9 form proves citizenship and/or legal residence. You are required to show “acceptable” forms of ID, which are indicated on the I-9 form. At that time you also will be given an employee information sheet and a W-4 form. The W-4 indicates the number of exemptions claimed. Employees have the option of choosing direct deposit. Please contact the payroll office, located in Hovey Hall, room 101, for details regarding the participating banks. The other option is to have the payroll check delivered to Student Accounts, where you will have to pick it up.
All paperwork will be filled out with Roberta Moore, 309-438-7320. When all paper work is complete the contract is prepared and mailed by Academic Personnel. Copies are sent to the part-time instructor as well as the School of Social Work. Part-time instructors must sign the Provosts copy and return it.

Equipment Bookings
Equipment bookings are done through Classroom Support. TV’s, VCR’s, projectors, and other audiovisual equipment can be reserved by calling them directly at 438-7412. Equipment reservations should be made at least 24 hours prior to the class but more lead-time is suggested. You may need to pick up your own media equipment so be sure to check that at the time you reserve it. If you are reserving equipment for an evening class, it will be placed and locked in your classroom by Classroom Support. If you have any questions, problems or special needs, call them at 438-7412.
The School of Social Work has laptops, LCD projectors and voice recorders available. To reserve any of the School’s equipment, please contact the support staff.
Special requests for rooms (e.g., “smart” classrooms or small conference rooms) must be made in advance and cannot be assured. Contact the support staff for more information on reserving a special room.
Course Evaluations
All ISU instructors are required to have course evaluations at the end of the semester. The evaluation forms are provided to you by the School and will be put in your mailbox near the end of the semester. Instructions are included in the packet and may change, so be sure to read them each semester. You should not be present when evaluations are filled out. Have a student from the class administer and return the evaluations to the red box on the third floor, Rachel Cooper.
A copy of student feedback will be placed in your mailbox within two weeks after the semester ends.
