Initial
Salary Placement - Minnesota State College Faculty [MSCF]
Summary: The initial salary placement is an evaluation
of in field degrees and/or credits to determine column placement
and an evaluation of relevant work experience to determine step
placement on the salary schedule. The final salary evaluation is completed by the Office
of the Chancellor - HR Division. The salary schedule consists of 5 columns. Each column has steps ranging from 13 to 21.
Step placement is evaluated at the college level by counting all relevant work experience. Teaching experience* counts on a 1:1 academic year basis, no more than 1.0 FTE will count in any year nor equate to more than one step. Other relevant work experience counts on a 1:1 12-month year basis. Less than full-time work experience shall be pro-rated and aggregated as appropriate. Faculty with at least one year of experience will be placed on step 02. The aggregate sum of experience shall be rounded up to the next salary step, e.g. 3.25 years = step 04.
*All grades 7- post secondary teaching experience regardless
of discipline shall count. Exception:
effective
Column placement is evaluated by the Office of
the Chancellor - HR Division based on the evaluation of official
transcripts to determine in field degrees and/or credits and that
an average grade of "B" has been maintained. Columns recognize: certificates/diplomas/associate degree,
bachelor's, master's and PhD.

Column I - step 14, Column II - step 12, Column III - step 10,
Column IV - step 09, Column V - step 08. At the initiation of the college an exception to the
step limits may be requested to the Office of the Chancellor and
