Adjunct Faculty Handbook: Before the Semester Begins

After you have completed your JWU hiring paperwork, you will receive an email containing your JWU ID number. Once you have your J# you can complete the following:

1. Set up your Johnson & Wales Network Access (https://newuser.jwu.edu/)  which will give you access to JWU email, uLearn (Blackboard), and our campus portal, JWUlink.
2. Log in to JWU Link to view your JWU email or uLearn account once you have established your network credentials.
3. Shortly after setting up your JWU email, you will receive HR Pulse credentials via email. There you can set up direct deposit.
4. Get a campus ID from Student Academic Services (located on the ground floor of the Friedman Center, 401-598-1088).
5. Keep an eye out for a welcome email from the department. There you'll find information about your parking pass, classroom key and adjunct office key.
6. You will also be given a faculty mailbox here in the Graduate Studies office. The mailroom is located down the hallway to the left from the front door.

ulearn  Requirements

Every course offered by Johnson & Wales University has an online presence in ulearn, our Blackboard-based learning management system.  You are responsible for meeting the 3 minimum requirements for every course in ulearn:

1. Post your course syllabus in ulearn (and email a copy of the syllabus to the Administrative Assistant).
2. Create grade columns and post grades in ulearn's grade center.
3. Make your course available by the first day of class. If you used ulearn in prior terms, consider requesting a course copy.

Additionally, your ulearn course site is the official place for you to provide electronic content and information to your students. For more ulearn help visit our uLearn User Guides for Faculty page, or email idt@jwu.edu with questions or to set up training with an instructional technologist.

uSucceed Requirements

uSucceed is an early alert, retention and advising system. uSucceed minimum requirements for faculty are

• Set up faculty profile:
  • Post office hours (often “an hour prior to class” works for adjuncts, as does “by appointment.”)
  • Location (you can use SOE offices, or, if available, your scheduled classroom)
  • Campus contact information (some are willing to share a cell or work number; others stick to email communication here)
• Complete surveys: Complete an initial attendance survey and two progress surveys throughout the term.  Be sure to notify School of Education staff directly of any attendance or academic issues.  For doctoral courses, please notify the Director if you have any concerns with attendance or academic performance.  For more uSucceed help visit our uSucceed User Guides for Faculty page.

Textbooks

All textbook orders should be placed directly with the JWU Bookstore. Please email Molly Peabody, manager at the Harborside bookstore, include your course name and number, the book title, edition and year, publisher, and ISBN number.  If you are not using a textbook, the bookstore manager will need to know that as well. Please copy the department Academic Administrative Coordinator in on the email.  Any changes in the required textbook must be communicated via email to Karen Swoboda, with a brief explanation as to the reason for the change, as soon as possible, prior to the start of class.  Please note that students are not required to purchase texts from the bookstore.
