After the Movement Science Department Chair has offered you an adjunct professor position, here are the next "First Steps" in making you an adjunct faculty member at Grand Valley State University.  After the interview, the Department Unit Head will notify the CLAS Dean's Office of your hire and course assignment.  From there, the following steps and processes will take place to secure your position.

• Unit Head obtains CV or resume, official transcripts, and copies of any pertinent certifications then sends the signed/completed Faculty Qualifications Assurance (FQA) form to the CLAS Dean’s Office.
• Dean’s Office approves the FQA form.
• A link to apply in Workday will be sent to you.
• In Workday you will submit your CV or resume and all necessary information.
• You will then get an email from GVSU saying "Thank you for Applying!"
• You will then get an automatic message with a the next tasks and GVSU job offer details to do in Workday.
• You will receive automatic messages along the way for each next step including providing more personal information for HR, accepting your appointment letter, tax withholding, direct deposit, etc.
• You may be required to submit information for a background check.  This is done through a third party, Sterling.  If needed, you will get an email directly from Sterling to complete information.
• If needed, the completion of the background check will then generate a "Welcome to GVSU" email.
• You will receive communication to come to the Human Resources Office on campus, notarized Instructor Oath, Candidate Credential Summary Form, and complete your I-9 form.
• When on campus to complete this visit to HR, it is a good day to stop by the Student Services Building and get your GVSU ID (you can ask in HR if they are able to do IDs).
• Once all hiring forms have been received, HR and IT will create an employee identification number (G#), a network account, and a Blackboard account.
• Academic Department Coordinators may assist new faculty with temporary Blackboard access while awaiting the receipt/processing of hiring forms. 
• Instructions on how to request a parking permit are included with the appointment letter. A G# is required to request a parking permit.
