ARTICLE XXI - WORKLOAD

Key points are:

  • Workload includes 15 credit/18contact hours of direct facilitation of learning, 18 to 21 hours of classroom support and institutional support with active faculty participation in each support area along with maintaining four office hours per week.

  • Faculty may refuse overload when the base teaching load is met.

  • When the base teaching load is not met and no course is available to assign to the faculty member, then the faculty member may be assigned other duties, such as curriculum development. Such assignment will be two clock hours per week for each contact hour.

  • Banking of any overload hours may be used to cover shortages in another quarter within the same academic year.

  • Separate course preps that exceed 9 during a 3 quarter academic year or 12 during a four quarter academic year will be compensated at one load hour per course prep above the stated levels.

  • When a faculty member is under contract to provide full-time instruction at the College, overload will not normally exceed 10 credit or 12 contact hours per quarter.

  • During the quarter when a faculty member is not under contract to provide full-time instruction at the College, overload will not normally exceed 25 credit or 30 contact hours per eleven week session or 18 credit or 22 contact hours per eight week session.

  • Each hour of any teaching activity is counted as a full load hour (credit or contact), except in the special circumstances as listed on page 32 of the CBA.

  • Video course development done from scratch is compensated at the equivalent to the credit hours of the course.

  • Video course development done from adaptation of an externally licensed course is compensated at the equivalent to 0.5 of the credit hours of the course.

  • Video course management compensation is continued at the rate paid prior to the CBA.

  • No faculty member may be assigned a schedule that exceeds a 12 hour span within any work day, unless the faculty member chooses to accept a class assignment outside of these guidelines.

  • At least 11 hours should be scheduled from the end of one workday to the start of the next workday, unless the faculty member chooses to accept a class assignment outside of these guidelines.

  • Nursing maximum clinical ratios are 8 to 1 in the acute care setting, 10 to 1 in all other settings, and 5 to 1 for the initial medication administration experience.

  • No special load arrangements will be made between a faculty member and administration without consultation with the NCSFA-AAUP.

  • Full-time faculty are not required to be on campus during time between quarters.
