Visiting Faculty Appointment visiting faculty does not imply permanent tenure normally associated with full-time faculty appointments in the professorial ranks, and is for one year.
Criteria are the same as for equivalent faculty rank.
Any subsequently proposed change of an initial visiting faculty appointment to a faculty appointment on the permanent tenure track is subject to the regular university procedures for selection and appointment individuals in the proposed faculty rank. Adjunct Faculty Adjunct appointments as professor, associate professor, assistant professor, or instructor may be offered to persons whose regular and principal employment is with an organization outside of North Carolina State University and who are invited to participate in instructional or research programs of the University. The rank of an adjunct appointee should be commensurate with his training, experience, and scholarly distinction. Admission to the Graduate Faculty through regular procedures will be required for adjunct appointees who teach graduate courses and direct the research of graduate students. This type of appointment shall be limited to one year and may be subject to renewal.
