Congratulations on your position at UC! Below is a check list for items you should have by the start of the term:

1.) Written Appointment Notification

Have you received your written appointment notification and supplemental documentation yet? If it’s 30 days before the start of your appointment, you should have received this already. Your appointment notification is your guarantee of a job. Learn more...

2.) Description of Duties (supplemental documentation)

All workers except for Instructors of Record should recieve a form with written details about your new appointment (see the pdf version here). For Reader and Tutor titles, this is included with your appointment notification. Learn more...

3.) Completed workload grid

Do yourself, your students and UC a favor: track your workload with this form. By tracking your workload closely, you can determine whether you are working over the workload limits, and can seek redress.  That helps you graduate faster, helps students receive high quality education, and it helps put the “right price tag” on educating the next generation of Californians.
