Combined Classes. This is an assignment to teach two (2) or more courses of different content at the same time. Courses that have different designators or different course numbers or different course titles are courses with different content. Cross listed courses are not considered to be courses with different content. Courses delivered onsite at a college may not be combined with courses that are delivered online or through another system of distance learning. When combined class assignments are in distance learning, including online courses, the assignment may be made only if agreed to by the instructor. For courses delivered onsite, management may make such an assignment after consideration of the following conditions: A. There must be a demonstrable business reason to do so, and B. The combination must not cause a significant loss of course content or student ability to meet course objectives and outcomes, and C. The maximum class size shall not exceed the highest maximum of any of the classes that are combined. The credit-value of a combined-class assignment consisting of two (2) combined courses shall be calculated according to the following formula: The credit-value of the instructor’s assignment shall be the number of student credits of the course with the greatest student credits, plus one (1) credit. The credit-value for combined classes of three (3) or more courses shall be mutually agreed upon by the administration and the faculty member. The credit-value may be equal to or greater than that which would result from the formula above, but may not be less, except as specified below.
