Concurrent Courses Clause Samples
The Concurrent Courses clause defines the conditions under which a party may enroll in or participate in multiple courses at the same time. Typically, this clause outlines any restrictions, prerequisites, or approval processes required for taking concurrent courses, such as limits on the number of simultaneous enrollments or the need for academic advisor consent. Its core function is to manage academic workload and ensure that participants do not overextend themselves, thereby maintaining the quality of learning and compliance with institutional policies.
Concurrent Courses. College courses taught on a high school campus by a College credentialed professor.
Concurrent Courses a. Concurrent courses are two (2) or more courses with different titles and content descriptions which are scheduled to meet during the same time period to be taught concurrently by the same employee. In determining extra preparation pay as provided for in Appendix A, each concurrent course within the base load shall be counted as one-half (1/2) of a preparation, except that office education open-lab courses shall be counted as four-fifths (4/5). Fractions of a preparation exceeding three (3) within the base load shall be paid on a pro rata basis. Overload consisting of concurrent courses shall be paid on a contact hour basis. Which courses are to be included within the base load and which preparations will be paid as extra preparation shall be determined to the best advantage of the employee.
b. When base load is calculated on other than contact hours, each concurrent course preparation will be equated as one-half (1/2) of a preparation. Fractions of preparations exceeding three (3) shall be paid on a pro rata basis.
c. When class sections are deliberately combined for lecture purposes, and the combined lecture section exceeds twenty-eight (28) students, the instructor will be paid an additional amount equal to the overload rate for each lecture contact hour.
Concurrent Courses. Concurrent courses shall be defined as two or more sections of different courses that could be scheduled separately but are instead offered at the same dates, same times, and same location by the same instructor. The District maintains right of assignment and may schedule and assign concurrent courses, under the following conditions: ● Two or more sections of the lecture portion of a course may be scheduled concurrently as one assignment with individual laboratory/activity/discussion class sections scheduled as separate assignments. ● Two or more sections of courses in sequence (i.e. A, B, C, D, etc. or numerical sequence) with similar content at increasing skill levels may be scheduled concurrently as one assignment. ● Two or more sections of different courses requiring the common tools, facilities, or resources with similar content and varying levels of skill may be scheduled concurrently as one assignment (i.e. Art Studio; Dance production classes; and Theatre Arts and Music performance classes). ● Two or more sections of courses with similar content but varying units of credit or hours of non-credit may be scheduled concurrently as one assignment (i.e. Gentrain, ENSL, Hospitality, Music, and Theatre Arts). ● Two or more sections of courses that have identical course outlines of record but are listed in different departments or disciplines (also known as cross-listed courses) may be scheduled concurrently as one assignment. ● Faculty may be assigned to a specific number of hours to provide instruction, oversight, and support for one or more sections of class in a shared lab environment and location to assist students in completing class assignments and activities (i.e. Fitness Center, Reading & Writing Center, and Math Learning Center classes). ● Other combinations of classes scheduled concurrently, including concurrently scheduling face to face and online sections of the same class or new courses that do not fit the criteria above, may be scheduled concurrently as one assignment upon mutual agreement between the District and MPCTA. ● Concurrent courses shall be scheduled upon the recommendation of the Department Chair in collaboration with the Division Chair and appropriate ▇▇▇▇. ● Load and compensation for concurrently scheduled sections will be calculated using the single section with the highest load value.
