The distribution of a faculty member’s comprehensive assignment will vary in accordance with department, division, and/or regional needs and faculty expertise. Decisions regarding courses taught, teaching locations, and class schedules are determined by regional administration. All faculty are expected to engage in the five essential functions outlined in the first paragraph; however, this policy does not mandate any particular balance among these categories.
Each faculty member’s load must be approved in writing by the campus academic officer. Faculty are expected to meet their assignment obligations within their appointment period, even if the obligations fall on a day when they are not routinely scheduled to be on campus. The regular appointment period begins on the appointment start date and ends on the appointment end date and does not include recognized regional academic breaks.
On a case-by-case basis, the campus academic officer may approve in writing a reassignment or load adjustment for faculty.
Full-time faculty members, as defined by the loading standards contained in this policy, may be awarded a nine-month or a twelve-month agreement.
The nine-month agreement will be used for faculty teaching in programs that do not require cohort students to attend fall, spring and summer. A full or partial extended year agreement for the summer term may be offered to those faculty members who have been on a full-time agreement during the previous nine months if summer enrollment and budget permit. See “Summer Term” below for further clarification.
The twelve-month agreement may be used for faculty in programs when cohort students are required to attend fall, spring and summer.
Full-time faculty members are guaranteed the equivalency of a full load during the nine-month or twelve-month agreement period.
When based on campus need and initiated by regional administration, the full-time load equivalency may be reached over the period of the nine-month or twelve-month agreement rather than over the period of the semester or term.
