Common use of Flex Courses Clause in Contracts

Flex Courses. A flex course is a course in any modality that either begins before, or extends beyond, the standard ten (10) or sixteen (16) week semester. Full-time faculty may teach flex courses as part or all of a full-time workload. Full-time faculty may also teach flex courses as an overload. Flex courses taught entirely during semester breaks or which begin during semester break with no more than one day of overlap in the upcoming term may be excluded from maximum allowable overload workload, at the discretion of the faculty member. The Mission and Learning commitment to the department, the division, and the College will encompass the entire semester. Therefore, during Autumn and Spring semesters faculty will hold their required weekly office hours during each week of the semester. During Summer semester, faculty may meet their entire semester's office hours requirement during the flex term with prior approval from the Chairperson.
