Overview

Departments requesting employment exceptions should submit the appropriate form.

Acceptable Requests

A change in job code, percentage of effort, class or course, or dates will require a new approval.
- NEW 2021/22: If a NST appointment has been approved by the Dean of Graduate Education and Postdoctoral Affairs (GEPA) and the Department/Program would like to increase or decrease the appointment up to 5%, a new request is NOT required. However, the Department/Program will need to notify of GEPA of the update. We will keep the request on files for our records.
Please address and attach recent teaching evaluations, if available (if no evaluations are available, please indicate).
A biography form for the non-student must be completed and submitted with the exception letter; you may use the form provided in this section.
Biography forms will be valid for three (3) calendar years. A new biography form must be submitted after three years.
NEW as of Summer 2023: Requests for Non-Student hires (aka NSTs) are being accepted through a new pilot process. Instead of using the same Exception Request Google form as the other exceptions, we are using Docusign to process these requests. Please follow the instructions below to complete the form via Docusign.
