ACTING appointments are those positions filled on a temporary basis to replace a regular unclassified employee on leave. The appointment method is to place the acting employee on an academic wage appointment, NOT a regular unclassified appointment.
INTERIM appointments are those positions filled on a temporary basis while a search is being conducted or reorganization is taking place. They require approval from the Office of Equal Opportunity and Access if you want to place someone into the position through a non-competitive process. Follow the detailed instructions for completing a non-competitive search at https://eoa.oregonstate.edu/waivers-search. You must submit a non-competitive posting through the online recruitment system.
