How can I get a copy of my class roster?
Complete class rosters can be obtained at any time during the semester by accessing the Marshall Information Liaison On-Line (MILO) system: http://mymu3.marshall.edu/cp/home/loginf.

Your login ID is your MUID # (901xxxxxx) and your PIN is your 6 digit birth date.
Who are my primary contacts at Marshall University?
It depends on the program. Some programs have regular faculty mentors for part-time faculty and some do not. If in doubt, the program secretary can generally assist you with finding answers to your questions. Each program is also headed by a program director that may also provide assistance. The Graduate School of Education and Professional Development directory can guide you in contacting these individuals. http://www.marshall.edu/gsepd/faculty_staff/faculty_staff_list.htm

A Marshall University police officer is on duty during all regular evening teaching hours on the South Charleston campus. A private security guard is on-duty at other hours when offices are generally closed. Dialing the Operator from any campus phone can put you in touch with the security personnel on duty.
Is there a limit to my workload as a part time faculty member?
University policy limits part time faculty to two courses per semester.
How do I change my address with the university?
There is a submission form for changing students and faculty to change personal information (including addresses) on the Marshall Information Liaison On-Line (MILO) system: www.marshall.edu/milo. Your logon ID is your MUID # (901xxxxxx) and your PIN is your 6 digit birth date.
What is the policy related to expense reimbursement?
All expenses should be turned into the appropriate program secretary on a
monthly basis. Required information includes: date of travel, destination,
purpose, departure and return times, meals, tolls (need receipt), lodging (must
have receipt showing zero balance and single occupancy - only half–rate
will be reimbursed for double occupancy). It is imperative that faculty asking
for travel reimbursement be familiar with the Marshall University travel policy
which can be found at:
http://www.marshall.edu/academic-affairs/greenbook.asp
Allowable expenses can be found at:
http://www.marshall.edu/accounting/appenda.html
What information must I provide as a part of my initial employment?
In addition to the standard W-4’s available at: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf
All new employees must complete an I-9 form before they can be added to payroll. The form can be found at: http://www.marshall.edu/human-resources/forms/insi9link.htm
If you do not work on the Huntington campus, you will need to fill out a City of Huntington Fee Waiver form to avoid paying the monthly municipal tax. The form is at http://www.marshall.edu/human-resources/forms/Hunt-City-Svc-Fee-080602.pdf
Contact your program secretary for more information.
How do I get copies and/or printing?
Small quantities can usually be handled by the program secretary given a day advance notice of when the material is needed. Complete class sets or larger volumes need to have at least a three day advance notice.
How do my students and I access the library?
Information related to accessing library holdings remotely can be found at: http://www.marshall.edu/library/offcamp/index.html
The MUGC librarians can provide direct student orientation and/or faculty assistance. Contact them directly at the MUGC library. 800 642-8902, 746-8902, or e-mail edington@marshall.edu.
How do I handle course evaluations?
GSEPD courses, including face to face courses, t-courses, and e-courses, are now being evaluated online. Each semester dates for the online evaluation will be made available to faculty via email. Click on Evaluation Options for more information and directions.
If your course is located on the South Charleston or Beckley campus and the campus is to be closed due to inclement weather an announcement will be available at 800 642-9842. You need to be aware that this announcement may not be made available soon enough for students attending live sessions of Web-based classes since they may be commuting longer distances. The decision about other weather related cancellations are up to the instructor who is also responsible for notifying students. Since most of our students are working professionals, reaching them by phone when weather is threatening is not often practical. Your syllabus should contain a procedure which will outline the process you will use to notify students. Please take into consideration the travel time of students and make any decision early enough so that students will know what to do. The Program Director in your area can assist you with the best procedure for handling weather related issues.
What is the part time faculty role in advising students?
Because of the myriad of university policies, certification regulations, and state requirements it is generally best if part time faculty do not attempt to advise students. Errors may be costly in both time and money for our students.
What are my additional responsibilities if I teach online courses?
All students new to online courses are asked to attend Supersaturday which is generally the Saturday prior to the beginning of the semester. Part-Time faculty will need to make arrangements with the program director in their area to determine who will provide training for students. www.marshall.edu/supersaturday
The course delivery software used by Marshall is WebCT. This software is continually being updated and revised and part-time faculty will need to stay abreast of these changes. Contact the program director for information about training opportunities.
What documentation must I have on file with the program?
All part time faculty must have a current vita on file with the program secretary. Additionally a teaching syllabus must be provided to the program and to each student in the class. Syllabi requirements can be found at:
http://www.marshall.edu/gsepd/syllabus.htm
A master syllabus outlining required objectives for the course is available from the program secretary.
Textbook orders for the bookstore must be submitted to the program secretary at least one month prior to the beginning of the semester. Earlier is better.
Instructor copies can be loaned to part time faculty by the program. Contact the program secretary or faculty mentor.
How do I order audio visual or computing equipment?
If the class is on the South Charleston campus or at a remote site, contact Will James at 746-1918. If the class is located at our Beckley facility call 252-0719.
