Classes are parceled out to a fairly large adjunct pool each semester, and while Highest Priority to Hire status almost guarantees consistent and thoughtful course assignments, courses with low enrollment are canceled at the last minute. There is very little compensation for those who lose classes, and ACC does not offer health care benefits to its adjuncts. It pays better than most institutions, but it is still not a living wage by any means, and adjuncts are prevented from teaching more than three courses per semester.
