Part-Time Faculty

Part-Time Faculty Quick Reference Information

Health Insurance

Eligible part-time faculty who purchase insurance through Covered California can apply for the Health Insurance Allowance Program. Once approved, part-time faculty will receive a monthly stipend to help cover the cost of health insurance.
How it works
- Each semester, eligible part-time faculty will receive an email from HR letting you know that you can apply for the allowance. All paperwork must be submitted by the deadline–no exceptions. Faculty interested in receiving the allowance must submit the affidavit and proof of insurance every semester. The allowance does not cover part-time faculty during the summer.
Due dates
- Fall semester: September 10th by 5pm
- Spring Semester: February 10th by 5pm
Who to contact
- FA: Part-Time Chair, April Kim, and/or FA President, Deanna Scherger (socccdfa@socccd.edu or akim124@ivc.edu or dscherger@ivc.edu)
- HR: Kristy Coulston at kcoulston@socccd.edu
