Regular Load Overloads and Underloads Clause Samples

Regular Load Overloads and Underloads. 19.4.1 No instructor shall be required to have a classroom workload equal to more than 45 activity points in any semester unless he/she agrees. If he/she agrees to work beyond 45 activity points during a semester, an average of 45 shall be maintained within a three (3) semester period. 19.4.2 No regular faculty member shall exceed his/her regular load in any given semester by more than 60% (or 27 activity points). 19.4.3 Online course assignments are contingent upon departmental needs and the Distance Education (DE) approval processes governed by the Curriculum Committee and DE Committee. 19.4.4 In no case shall a regular faculty member’s workload and overload per semester include an assignment of more than 27 activity points (.60 FTE) of online courses. In the case of a regular faculty member with a reduced workload, online assignments shall be limited to no more than 60% of the reduced workload. 19.4.5 In the case of hybrid courses, the proportion if the course taught online shall count toward the calculation of total online load (example: a 9.0 activity point class taught as a 50/50 hybrid course would count as 4.5 activity points of online instruction). 19.4.6 Assignment priority is for use only in the development of the initial schedule for each semester. 19.4.7 When a regular faculty member who is teaching an overload and who has one or more of his/her regular classes cancelled, the overload will become a part of his/her regular load for that semester. 19.4.8 Any underload shall be made up within four (4) semesters from the time it is first incurred, except by mutual agreement in writing. 19.4.9 Any faculty member who needs to make up an underload will be assigned a regular load plus the underload within his/her discipline prior to making overload or adjunct assignments. (Exceptions may be made if an adjunct possesses unique qualifications required for an available course). 19.4.10 If a faculty member who is scheduled for courses to restore an underload incurs a cancellation which impedes the load restoration within the four-semester period, that instructor may displace the instructor of an hourly assignment (overload or adjunct). The priority for the fulltime faculty member to be assigned another class in order to restore base load will incur the following order when possible: A. Full-time faculty member with overload B.
