Common use of Advising load Clause in Contracts

Advising load. So far as is possible, student advising shall be matched with faculty advisors by program, major, and degree intent at the time of initial registration. The advising steering committee will review advising loads each quarter and make recommended changes to area deans. Each quarter, faculty who advise thirty (30) or more students may provide their ▇▇▇▇ with a list of advisees served. Advising workload for faculty who do not provide a list of advisees served will be calculated via the system in use by the College. All advisees count equally, regardless of a student’s status as full- or part-time. Faculty members will be available to provide information about their program to questions initiated by potential students. The activity will take place on campus during regularly scheduled hours unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the College and the faculty member. Every effort shall be made to equalize advisee loads at 15-30 advisees. Advisors with fewer than 15 advisees, with appropriate training provided, can be assigned advisees outside of their discipline. Any advisor who averages thirty (30) advisees during an academic year shall exceed that number only with written permission of the said advisor and will be paid on the independent study rate, one (1) student credit hour for each advisee over thirty (30). Faculty advisors with less than fifteen (15) advisees may be placed at the higher end of the 41-48 range of instructional units. In each quarter when advising day is also a teaching day, advisors who have 15 or more assigned advisees that same quarter (or a proportional number for pro rata faculty) will be provided one additional personal day. These additional personal days must be used by the end of the calendar year (not academic year) in which they are earned. Committee assignment and participation: The College shall continue efforts to equalize committee assignments for all full-time faculty. A range of 2-4 committee assignments is considered reasonable and fair, with the understanding that committee work should not be expected to exceed four (4) hours per week on an average during the school year. Committee assignment refers to all committees on which a faculty member may serve due to their employment at the College.
