Original Class Placement. Class placement is based on the following. 20.3.1.3.1 A faculty member is placed in Classes I through VII depending upon degrees, and or/ number academic units over and above degree(s). 20.3.1.3.2 Degrees must have been granted by a college or university accredited by a recognized accrediting agency. All foreign degrees must be evaluated by NACES, National Association of Credential Evaluation Services, or any other agency agreed to by the Faculty Senates Coordinating Council. It is important that the instructor request an evaluation to determine what comparable U.S. degree they possess as well as the number of units it took to earn that degree. If the evaluation confirms the degree is equivalent to a Master’s but does not indicate the number of units required to earn that Master’s, then the instructor will be placed at a Class III. 20.3.1.3.3 Academic units above a degree will be units granted by a fully accredited college or university. Units from non- accredited colleges and universities will be evaluated as follows: (1) any work from an institution which is in the correspondent stage will not be accepted; (2) work from any institution which is in candidacy stage will be accepted from the date of candidacy only; and, (3) after accreditation has been granted an institution, work will be accepted for the three (3) years prior to accreditation. 20.3.1.3.4 Degrees and academic units must be verified by official transcripts or grade reports to which the college seal or registrar's signature has been attached. 20.3.1.3.5 Faculty grandfathered under the credentialing system must present their credential(s) for recording purposes.
