Fall I 2025 Faculty Guidelines

We have converted the Faculty Guidelines to a Google Document. This new format includes a navigable Table of Contents with links to each section, updated information about recent changes to college policies and procedures, the new CUNY placement information, as well as the usual information found in the faculty guidelines memo.

Faculty received this via email during the week of 9/1/25. You can also access it here:
