Please follow the below instructions to request a faculty stipend:
- The budget manager (or support staff) should complete a Faculty Stipend Request Form.
- Stipends should be paid out on the 10th of the month, unless the stipend will be paid across multiple payments, or if there are extenuating circumstances that requires the stipend to be paid on the 25th of the month.
- If you are unsure of an employee ID number, program number or combo code, please use the Budget Tracker Dashboard to look up this information.
- The budget manager should sign at the bottom of the page before the form is submitted.
- The completed and signed Faculty Stipend Request Form should be submitted through the Academic Planning and Budgets Canvas shell to be reviewed for accuracy and adherence to the HC-HCEA Contract, and to be signed by the appointing authority. [If you are having trouble accessing the canvas shell, please contact rhomchick@highline.edu.]
- Incomplete forms, or forms that have incorrect information, will be sent back for corrections, and must be resubmitted once the edits are made.
- After the stipend has been reviewed and approved, it will be entered into ctcLink to initiate the payment process. About a week prior to payment, the faculty member will receive a notification to approve their stipend contract in ctcLink. Please help us remind faculty to do this important step.
Please see Part-time Faculty Meeting Stipend Request Form to request a stipend for a part-time faculty member who attended a campus governance meeting.

Stipends with multiple payments
Stipends are bound by academic quarters within ctcLink. This means that a stipend paid in multiple payments cannot be paid across multiple quarters.
Stipends that are paid in multiple payments are paid on consecutive paychecks, starting with the first pay date indicated on the form. The stipend form should be submitted by the submission deadline for the first payment. For example, a $100 stipend paid in two payments starting on 1/10, will pay out as $50 on 1/10 and $50 on 1/25.
