Faculty Evaluation

The Office of Faculty Evaluation maintains and implements Austin Community College (ACC) District faculty evaluation timelines and procedures recommended by the Faculty Development and Evaluation shared governance committee. Evaluation is required for faculty counselors, full-time/adjunct faculty, and faculty librarians. The evaluation process is intended to provide feedback to faculty on the effectiveness of their classroom instruction and aid in the development of their professional development plans.

If you have any questions regarding the faculty evaluation process and procedures please email facultyevaluation@austincc.edu.

For more information on the faculty evaluation cycle and criteria for both full-time and adjunct faculty, go to Faculty Evaluation. For detailed information on course evaluation, please visit the Course Evaluation page.

For additional information, please refer to Administrative Rule #4.1201.02
