Common use of Course Cancellation Fee Clause in Contracts

Course Cancellation Fee. An adjunct faculty member who is appointed to teach a standard course shall be paid a cancellation fee of $300 if the course is cancelled within 21 calendar days before classes begin for that course. If the course is cancelled after classes begin, the adjunct faculty member shall be paid a cancellation fee that is pro-rated based on the number of classes actually taught. If the reason for the cancellation is insufficient enrollment, the University may, in its sole discretion, offer the adjunct faculty member the option of teaching the students who had enrolled in the course. In that event, the adjunct faculty member shall be compensated at a rate determined by mutual agreement between the adjunct faculty member and the University, in lieu of a cancellation fee. In the event an agreement is not reached, the adjunct faculty member shall receive the cancellation fee.
