Part-Time Instructor Database

The Part-Time Instructor (PTI) Database is used by Academic Units across Syracuse University to communicate PTI appointment information to the Office of Human Resources and to generate appointment letters.

Any Administrator that will be working within the PTI Database, is encouraged to review and become familiar with the Adjuncts United Contract. Adjuncts United (AU) is affiliated with New York State United Teachers (NYSUT) and represents most of Syracuse University’s Part-Time Faculty.
