EEP instructors are among the most highly qualified faculty members in a school. Each EEP instructor is first recommended by the high school administration and then submits a résumé and course syllabus to our office. These documents are reviewed by RIC professors in the appropriate academic discipline. When the review process is complete, the instructors selected are granted adjunct faculty status at RIC. Each becomes a member of the RIC academic department of his/her subject area and is assigned to work with a professor from that department.
