The job announcement will outline all the information that you need to attach to your application, including:

• Letter of Application
• Resume
• Letters of Recommendation (recommended, not required)
• Supplemental Questionnaire for Equivalency (if applicable)
• Complete official or unofficial college/university transcripts

Please make sure that the files you attach can be opened and are readable before you submit your application.

Candidates must possess the minimum qualifications for the discipline as approved by the California Community Colleges Board of Governors and defined in the Minimum Qualifications for Faculty and Administrators in California Community Colleges handbook.  

The job announcement will also outline the specific degree and work experience combinations that meet the minimum qualifications.

If the title of your degree as stated on your transcripts does not exactly match one of the degree titles listed in the minimum qualifications, you must complete the Supplemental Questionnaire for Equivalency. 

Do not assume that you do not need to submit a Supplemental Questionnaire for Equivalency because your degree is similar to a degree stated in the minimum qualifications.  

Board Policy 7211 provides further details regarding equivalency and the criteria by which equivalency may be granted.

Yes. However, you will need to have your foreign degree evaluated by an approved agency and attach the agency evaluation with your transcripts to your application.

For a list of approved agencies, please visit https://www.naces.org/ for a directory of NACES members.

A screening committee will review and screen your application and associated materials. The candidates deemed most qualified for the position will be invited to an interview.

For that reason, when completing the application and the supplemental questions, it is important to outline in detail your education, training (classes, seminars, workshops), and experience. You will be evaluated based upon the information provided.

No. We are not able to accept any additional information after you have submitted your application.

However, if you are applying to a "continuous" recruitment, you can submit a new application.

If you are applying to a recruitment that has a closing date, you can only submit one application. 

Either way, please review the job announcement carefully and ensure that you have included all the information required before submitting your application.

We will not accept a copy of your diploma in lieu of transcripts and you must include a copy of your transcripts (unofficial is fine) when you submit your application.

If you include a substitute document stating that you will submit your transcripts later or that they have been ordered, your application will be disqualified from the recruitment.

Human Resources will contact you to be fingerprinted and cleared by the Department of Justice and you will need to submit proof of passing a Tuberculosis test. Prior to starting in your position you will also be scheduled to attend a New Hire Orientation which will provide you with additional information regarding benefits, salary, and paid time off.

If you still have questions after you have received your offer of employment, you can email HRTech@vcccd.edu or call 805.652.5530.
