Common use of Minimum Class Size Clause in Contracts

Minimum Class Size. The class size for credit classes shall normally be no less than twenty (20) enrollees, with it being understood that the District is authorized to maintain a limited number of classes of fewer than twenty (20) enrollees pursuant to the provisions of this Article. Exceptions to the minimum of twenty (20) enrolled may be made by each college. Factors to be considered in deciding which class may be allowed with fewer than twenty (20) enrollments are the following: a. Classes required for graduation, for a major, or for a career; b. Classes offered in limited capacity classroom or laboratory facilities; c. Classes subject to statutory or state regulations mandating class size; d. Initial pilot or experimental offerings for their first and second presentations; e. Contracts with outside agencies under which the District agrees to provide instruction; f. Classes in which the enrollment was targeted below the contractual minimum class size as part of a Discipline Plan which fulfills the recommended WSCH/FTEF target established by the CEMC; g. The District and the Faculty Association will negotiate over any increase in minimum class size.
