- Develop your own FLEX plan and submit appropriate evidence of participation
To Request FLEX Credit, please follow the steps below and any questions to please
email Claudia Figueroa.

- Go to https://studentrcc.sharepoint.com/sites/ws/flextrack to login the database. Faculty DO NOT need to be on the Intranet or campus computer

- Please enter FLEX hours in numerical quarters. For example, 15 minutes is entered
as 0.25, 45 minutes is entered as 0.75 and one hour is entered as 1.00 as FLEX hours.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
- Here is FLEX Track documentation on how to use the new system.

a New Individual Activity. You will want to Add a New Individual Activity.
- Please record all the Individual Activities and upload the evidence you have completed
or plan to complete before June 30. When you enter your Individual Activity in FLEX,
an automatic email will go to your department chair for approval. Upon approval of
your individual activity and receipt of your evidence of completion sent directly
to me, you will be awarded Flex credit.
NOTE: All events and workshop attendance sheets have been entered into the system.
If you attended an event/workshop and do not see it listed in the Completed Activities
tab, please advise Nicole Brown on what the activity was and to whom you sent your
evidence (please list date submitted).
Appropriate Evidence: the college requires evidence that you have completed and/or participated in an
event outside of the PDC sponsored workshops. Any questions, please send your email to Nicole
Brown, Instructional Support Programs Coordinator. Please note that ALL evidence must have the minimum three identifiers: Full name of
attendee, Name of event, and date of event. Otherwise, it doesn't meet state FLEX requirements and cannot be accepted.
Here are some common examples accepted as evidence:
- An email confirming your registration for a conference (These are the best)
- Sign-in sheets
- Minutes from a meeting **(Department meetings are not acceptable as it is part of the faculty contract)
- ID name tags with the conference logo on it (plus date and name of event)
- Programs/agenda schedules that contain your name if you are a speaker or submitted
a paper.
- A copy of a published paper
- For Zoom workshops, a photograph of you in attendance and send a copy of the zoom
meeting invitation.
Associate (Part-Time) Faculty Documents
Associate faculty can claim up to 3.00 hours each compensation for professional development,
course level and/or program level assessment projects and equity-related professional
development per academic year for a total of 9.00 hours. Page 29 in the 21/24 Faculty
agreement handbook. The FLEX administrator doesn't have any access to view the status
of submission. The turn-around time for payment from RCCD is about 60 days.
In an effort to simplify the process for payment of Professional Development Hours
for Associate Faculty as laid out in the contract, RCCD has streamlined the process
through Adobe Sign.
Following is an outline of the major changes:
- The new process will be routed through Adobe Sign. Etrieve will no longer be used
for this purpose.
- Your Instructional Department Specialist (IDS) will initiate and facilitate the process.
- To start the reporting process, an Associate Faculty will contact their assigned IDS
who will initiate the process in Adobe Sign.
- As soon as it’s started, you will receive an email from Adobe Sign for you to fill
in the hours/details and digitally sign.
- Only Department Chairs will approve the PD hours, which will then be routed to Payroll
for payment processing.
If you have any questions, please contact your IDS
