CollegeNow Faculty Liaison

What is a Faculty Liaison?

A faculty liaison is a faculty member at Tompkins Cortland Community College, either full-time or adjunct, who is selected by his/her academic department to monitor the quality, consistency, and curricular alignment of concurrent enrollment classes. The Faculty Liaison role is to support approved concurrent enrollment instructors by assisting with course materials, providing guidance regarding curricular alignment with the matching college course, conducting site visits, and offering professional development opportunities.

Online Resources for Instructors

We have created an online repository of resources for CollegeNow instructors in Google Drive. Here, you will find Program Orientation information applicable to instructors across all disciplines. While designed for new instructors, we recommend that continuing instructors review the information annually for updates. Each discipline maintains a repository folder as well.

Liaisons manage their own repositories, but they generally contain an orientation overview for new instructors, which provides guidance on placement, recommended texts, assessments, and library resources. In addition, liaisons often post master course syllabi, samples of course outlines, and class materials (ie: labs, tests, assignments, and grading rubrics). When available, copies of online sections of courses are posted in the organization (these may be referred to as sample courses or templates); you may copy/download any of the content you see and adapt for your classes. There is also a discussion forum for sharing ideas, asking questions, and making suggestions. If you have materials that you would like posted to your organization, please let your liaison know.
