FOR TEACHERS
Criteria for Faculty Eligibility to Teach in the Concurrent Enrollment Program (CEP)
WCSU is committed to collaborating with high school partners in a way that honors the experience of high school teachers. Faculty eligibility is based on the need for approved courses to be taught in a manner that is consistent with WCSU’s on-campus offering of the course. The qualifications needed to accomplish this will vary. High school teachers should have at least a master’s degree with a preference for a degree within the discipline of the course being taught. A graduate degree in a related discipline or in education may also be acceptable. Teachers should have at least two years of teaching experience, in either high school or college.
- Interested high school teachers will submit their resume/CV along with an optional cover letter. The cover letter can be used as an opportunity to discuss qualifications outside of a degree (such as the number of years that they’ve taught this course).
- The relevant WCSU department will review the teacher’s materials to determine eligibility.

Guidelines for Approving New CEP Courses
When a partner school wishes to establish a course offering with WCSU, the first step is to identify the potential equivalency in the WCSU curriculum. Visit WCSU’s undergraduate catalog: catalogs.wcsu.edu/ugrad/ to read course descriptions of potential courses.
If there is a course that appears to match a course you are teaching, contact Dr. Becky Hall, hallb@wcsu.edu, ((203)837-9363), identifying which course you are interested in offering.
- You’ll be directed to the WCSU CEP faculty liaison for that course who will ask for the course curriculum/course outline and/or syllabus for this course.
- The relevant WCSU Department will review the course materials to determine alignment.
- You and your faculty liaison will put an assessment system in place so that data can be collected to assess how well students are meeting the course learning outcomes (see Guidelines for Assessment below).
