Standard Teaching Assignment Clause Samples
The Standard Teaching Assignment clause defines the typical teaching responsibilities and workload expected of an instructor under the agreement. It outlines the number of courses, credit hours, or contact hours the instructor is required to teach during a specified period, such as a semester or academic year, and may specify the types of courses or levels (e.g., undergraduate or graduate) included. This clause ensures both parties have a clear understanding of teaching expectations, helping to prevent misunderstandings and disputes regarding workload.

The standard teaching assignment for Limited-Term faculty is defined as eighteen (18) credit hours. These credit hours may further be described to include contact hours in classes, labs, clinic, studio and required tutorials. Each hour a class meets per week of term is defined as one contact hour.
