Common use of Regular Load Clause in Contracts

Regular Load. No instructor shall be required to have a classroom workload equal to more than a 100% workload in any semester unless he/she agrees. If he/she agrees to work beyond 100% during a semester, an average of 100% shall be maintained within a four (4) semester period. Exceptions apply in the case of faculty working to eliminate underload status. A. Online course assignments are contingent upon departmental needs and the Distance Education (DE) approval processes governed by the Curriculum Committee and DE Committee. B. In no case shall a regular faculty member’s workload and overload per semester include an assignment of more than 30 activity points (.67 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 67% of the reduced workload. C. 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).
