Instructors at CSUS fall under two payroll categories: academic year instructional faculty and 12-month instructional faculty. Academic year (AY) instructors receive an equal paycheck throughout the year and are paid extra if they choose to teach during the winter and summer sessions.

Instructors under the twelve-month payroll conduct other important tasks besides teaching. One of their duties is accreditation. This involves the arrival of outside organizations that ascertain whether certain departments meet up-to-date academic standards. These instructors may also work as program coordinators.

“It is an academic plus to see that programs are on the cutting edge,” said David Wagner, Dean of Faculty and Staff Affairs.The highest-paid CSUS instructors work in the business administration college.
