Early College Instructor Application 2025-26

We welcome new and returning high school instructors to apply to teach SCSU early college courses. If you are a returning instructor, please take a moment to complete this form fully. We have found instructors have updated last names or new high schools, and we are using this database to keep track of any changes.
If you are teaching the same course, we do not need a new letter or reference, CV, or transcripts that you already provided; if you are teaching a new course, we need a new syllabus.

For new applications, we recommend you gather all materials in advance: including a copy of your proposed syllabus, resume, letter of reference, graduate and undergraduate transcripts (unless your degrees were from SCSU).

Following your submission, the relevant SCSU faculty liaison will review all materials and determine if you meet their qualifications to teach the specific SCSU course(s) as an Early College instructor. The review may take up to 8 weeks. Should you not hear a response after that time, do reach out to your faculty liaison.

Apply by March 15, 2025 for courses to be taught during the 2025-26 school year.

If you have any questions about the materials requested, or to request a sample syllabus to confirm curricular alignment, please contact the subject area Faculty Liaison, found under “teacher inquiries” on the Contact page of our website: https://www.southernct.edu/early-college/contact
