A secondary joint appointment is an unpaid appointment of a faculty member to a second university department when that person will be regularly participating in teaching, research, or graduate supervision responsibilities of more than one university department. Any faculty member who receives a secondary joint appointment will no longer be considered an external member to their new department. As such, if the faculty member is serving on a student’s committee as an external member, the student’s committee will need to be revised to add a new external member. If the department is unsure if the faculty member is serving as an external committee member, they can run a report in Aurora for verification.
All secondary joint appointees who will be the instructors of record for lectures, laboratories, independent studies,
internships, clinicals, or any other credit-bearing experience must comply with the university’s faculty teaching qualifications
guidelines. If appointees serve as instructors of record in the host unit, that unit must submit an electronic teaching
certification form via the Faculty Qualifications Management System (FQMS) in PeopleSoft if one is not already on file for the
faculty member’s teaching assignment in the host unit. All teaching assignments are subject to UCF faculty teaching
qualification guidelines
Some expectations of a secondary joint appointment may include, but are not limited to:
- Serving on a student’s thesis/dissertation committee
- Instructing courses under the department’s prefix
- Conducting research
Any other expectations will be provided by the department’s chair.
