Those adjunct faculty who are either current contract or retired contract District employees are not eligible to participate in the priority of assignment program.
5.2.3.2 During the adjunct faculty member’s sixth (or later) semester of service within an eight year period, the adjunct faculty member shall request, in writing, to the appropriate manager and department/program chair her/his desire to initiate the Priority of Assignment process.

The seniority date of this initial cohort of continuing education adjunct faculty for priority of assignment purposes shall be each faculty member’s date of hire within continuing education (provided he/she has not had a break in service of eighteen (18) months or more). If such a break in service did occur, the date of hire following the break in service shall be considered the hire date for POA seniority purposes. Subsequent to this ratification date, all other continuing education faculty must follow the request procedure delineated in 5.2.3.2 above.
