Roane State Community College
Policy Number: PA-27-01
Subject: Faculty Qualifications
It is the policy of Roane State Community College to employ faculty whose qualifications comply
with the policies and guidelines of the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) and the standards of
the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).
Qualifications: Faculty members must meet the College’s requirements, as outlined in the Faculty
Qualifications Manual, to teach in the academic disciplines. These requirements include those of
applicable professional accrediting and/or approval agencies. The qualifications for teaching at
RSCC are the same for full-time and part-time faculty, and the applicable qualifications to teach
courses in the academic disciplines apply to all delivery modes.
Academic degrees presented for credentialing will generally be awarded from regionally
accredited institutions. In the event that the faculty member is a graduate of an institution outside
the United States, a further review of credentials will be conducted to ensure appropriate
academic preparation.
Certification of Qualifications: Qualifications for all faculty must be certified by the appropriate
academic dean prior to the teaching appointment and all employment must be conducted
according to the screening and hiring procedures outlined in RSCC Policy PA-18-01. (Access the
complete detailed RSCC Policy PA-18-01, Hiring and Recruiting, at
www.roanestate.edu/policies/.) Candidates graduating from foreign universities must supply
appropriate qualifying credentials (or certified translation of those credentials) prior to
employment.
Roane State’s Faculty Qualifications Manual is the source for information regarding the criteria
for teaching all courses at the collegiate level. A review of this manual is conducted annually by
the Office of the Vice President for Student Learning.
If licensure or special certifications are required for the accreditation of an academic program,
these credentials must be filed with the Office of Human Resources prior to employment. It is the
responsibility of the faculty to ensure that such licensure or special certifications are renewed
when required.
Alternative Qualifications Review: Under special circumstances, faculty members may be hired
by exception. Exceptions to qualifications outlined in the Faculty Qualifications Manual may
occur in two cases:

The faculty member has outstanding professional experience and demonstrated
contributions to the teaching discipline which may be presented in lieu of formal
academic preparation.

The faculty member has training in a closely related discipline and the competencies
needed to teach the course objectives are covered by the documented training in the
related discipline.
4
In these cases, qualifying documentation must be provided which may include academic
transcripts, professional letters of support, documentation of professional experience, current
certifications/licenses held, awards received or other pertinent items. After review of the
qualifying documentation, the Dean must forward a signed Alternative Qualifications Form with
accompanying documentation to the Vice President for Student Learning for review and approval.

*The National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST) recognizes that a theatre program can benefit from
the presence of some faculty whose qualifications rest on the skills developed by substantial professional
experience. These individuals may hold degrees other than the Master’s or no academic degree at all. The
courses marked with an asterisk (*) are offered on an occasional basis and, after careful portfolio review, the
college may, in special circumstances, make adjunct appointments to individuals with primarily professional
experience as qualification to teach these courses.
